North Texas Healthy Communities is a regionally focused funder investing in community health and human services across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, especially in North Texas suburbs and smaller neighboring towns. They prioritize mental health and school-based counseling, basic needs (food and clinic services), and nonprofit capacity building, frequently supporting local school districts, community clinics, food programs, and intermediary organizations. Grants are often repeated to the same local partners and structured to support program delivery and organizational strength rather than national advocacy.
North Texas Healthy Communities shows a strong pattern of funding local institutions that deliver health and human services across the Dallas–Fort Worth area, with repeated support for nonprofit infrastructure, food access, and mental health services. The largest recent grants in the record went to the Center for Nonprofit Management in Dallas, including $749,100 in 2024 and $674,100 in 2025 for general support, which signals a sustained interest in regional capacity building. Alongside that work, the foundation has backed direct-service organizations such as Taste Project in Fort Worth, which received $598,651 in 2024 and $321,463 in 2025 for general support, and Eastside Community Assistance in Fort Worth, which received $498,529 in 2024 and $381,600 in 2025 for food programs. The grant list also includes support for school counseling, charitable clinics, and local health initiatives, showing a portfolio built around nearby community systems rather than distant or national work. The leadership record names Kenneth Kramer.
Mental health is a consistent theme. North Texas Healthy Communities gave $310,000 in 2025 to Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute of TX in Dallas for mental health, and it supported Plano ISD Counseling Svc with $249,420 in 2024 and $199,536 in 2025 for mental health support. The foundation also funded campus-focused depression work through a $189,679 grant in 2023 to Plano ISD Education Foundation. Food access is another clear area: Eastside Community Assistance in Fort Worth received $498,529 in 2024 and $381,600 in 2025 for food programs, while Taste Project in Fort Worth received general support in two separate years. Health services for underserved residents appear in grants to Brother Bills Helping Hand in Dallas for charitable clinic initiatives and Health Services of North TX Inc in Denton for health initiative work.
Grant sizes cluster in the mid-six figures, with a p25 of $48,440, a median of $120,130, and a p75 of $219,448. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including the Center for Nonprofit Management, Eastside Community Assistance, Taste Project, Plano ISD Counseling Svc, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute of TX, Wilkinson Center, and Concilio. That pattern points to ongoing support rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals.
