About New Process Foundation
New Process Foundation concentrates its funding on direct human services in the Houston area, with a strong emphasis on children's welfare and family support. The foundation makes a small number of large awards — often repeat grants — to organizations that deliver frontline services (pediatric charity, foster care/adoption, homelessness navigation) and to community-wide intermediaries. Its giving appears locally focused and programmatic rather than research- or advocacy-oriented.

About New Process Foundation
New Process Foundation’s largest recent award was $1.7 million to Houston Children's Charity in 2025, a marker of how strongly the foundation concentrates on direct human services in Houston and nearby Texas communities. The giving pattern is programmatic and practical: support for pediatric and child-health services, foster care and family preservation, homelessness navigation, and community-wide intermediaries. That mix appears in awards to groups serving children, families, and people in crisis, rather than in research or advocacy. Repeat grants are part of the pattern. Houston Children's Charity received another large award of $500,000 in 2024, and Upbring received two substantial grants across consecutive years. The foundation also backs local service networks and specialized providers, including United Way of Greater Houston, Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center, and The Other Ones Foundation. Taken together, the recent grants show a funder that uses large, direct awards to sustain frontline organizations working in Houston and other Texas locations.
What New Process Foundation Funds
Child and family services are central to the portfolio. New Process Foundation gave $353,333 in 2024 and $333,333 in 2025 to Upbring, an organization tied to foster care, adoption, and family preservation services. In Houston, it also supported Baylor College of Medicine with a $100,000 grant in 2024 for pediatric or child-health work through hospital-based services. Homelessness services are another clear line of giving. The foundation awarded $200,000 in 2025 to Sunrise Homeless Navigation Center and $150,000 to The Other Ones Foundation, both in Austin, for navigation and shelter-diversion work. Community support appears through a $200,000 grant in 2025 to United Way of Greater Houston, reflecting a channel for broader human-services funding. The foundation also makes smaller grants outside its core service categories, including $100,000 to Trees for Houston in 2024 and $50,000 to Power of Parkinson's in Austin.
How New Process Foundation Gives
Typical awards are mid-to-large, with a p25 of $27,500, median of $75,000, and p75 of $100,000. The recent record also includes several much larger grants, showing that the foundation uses both standard-sized awards and occasional outsized commitments. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Houston Children's Charity, Upbring, and Sam Houston Area Council, which points to repeat support rather than one-off giving. The foundation is a grantmaking public charity, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. No application process is described in the data.
