About Paul E Andrews Jr Foundation
The Paul E Andrews Jr Foundation makes a small number of very large, locally focused grants in the Fort Worth area, concentrating on capital campaigns and endowments for institutions that serve health, animal conservation/education, and homeless housing needs. The foundation repeatedly funds a handful of organizations with multi-million dollar gifts that appear tied to named projects (e.g., Andrews Women's Hospital, Vision2020 at the zoo, and a housing initiative at Seminary). Their giving emphasizes long‑term infrastructure and program sustainability rather than broad, diffuse annual operating support.

About Paul E Andrews Jr Foundation
The Paul E Andrews Jr Foundation has repeatedly made million-dollar commitments to Fort Worth institutions, including two linked strands that stand out in the recent record: Andrews Womens Hospital at All Saints Health Foundation and Vision2020 at the Fort Worth Zoological Association. Those gifts show a pattern of backing named capital and endowment efforts rather than scattered small awards. The foundation also supports housing infrastructure for people experiencing homelessness through Journey Home Housing at Seminary, another multi-year project that appears in consecutive years. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s giving is centered on education and healthcare in Fort Worth, but it reaches into related quality-of-life needs such as museum operations, food access, and services for children and families. The grant record suggests a funder that prefers a small number of substantial awards, often attached to specific facilities, campaigns, or long-term program structures. Recipients include community institutions, health-related entities, schools, and human services organizations, with several grantees appearing more than once over multiple years.
What Paul E Andrews Jr Foundation Funds
In healthcare, the foundation backed All Saints Health Foundation with $800,000 in 2025 for Andrews Women's Hospital Endowment, following earlier support for Andrews Womens Hospital. That emphasis on endowment and hospital infrastructure fits a broader pattern of long-horizon giving. In housing and homelessness services, it gave $500,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Presbyterian Night Shelter for Journey Home Housing at Seminary, showing repeated support for the same housing initiative. Education support appears in several forms: Communities in Schools Greater Tarrant County received $250,000 in 2025 for capital and operating, while Uplift Education received $250,000 in 2023 for Uplift Crescendo - Academic and Program Support. The foundation also funds civic and family-serving institutions, including the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History for operating support and the Fort Worth Zoological Association for Vision2020.

The foundation appears to favor recurring support for selected recipients, with repeated grants to organizations such as Presbyterian Night Shelter and All Saints Health Foundation across multiple years. It also uses both operating support and project-specific funding. An annual competitive grant program is listed, and the board meets once each fall to consider proposals submitted that year. The foundation also funds individuals.
