The Posey Family Foundation makes very focused, large gifts in the Dallas/North Texas area, concentrating on advancing college access for young women and addressing food insecurity for children. Nearly all of its recent funding supports two repeat recipients: substantial college scholarships and general support for the Young Women’s Preparatory Network and programmatic support for the North Texas Food Bank. The foundation favors direct, outcome-oriented investments in local education-to-college pipelines and feeding programs.
Posey Family Foundation centers its giving on two repeating priorities: college scholarships for qualifying graduates of the Young Women’s Preparatory Network and child hunger relief through the North Texas Food Bank. Those two relationships account for a large share of the foundation’s recent grant history, with support reaching seven figures for Young Women’s Preparatory Network and major program funding for the food bank in both 2023 and 2024. The pattern points to a local funder that backs long-term pipelines rather than scattered one-off awards. Beyond those anchor gifts, the foundation has also funded early childhood education and tuition assistance at MI Escuelita Preschool, housing and program expenses for families served by Jeremiah Program Austin, and community programming linked to Title I Dallas ISD schools through Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. It also supported literacy, youth arts, and out-of-school programming in Dallas and Austin. The recent grant list shows a preference for direct, practical support tied to specific services, scholarships, and operating needs rather than broad thematic claims.
College access is a defining theme. The foundation gave $1,056,000 in 2024 to Young Women’s Preparatory Network for college scholarships for qualifying graduates of YWPN network schools and general fund support, following a $1,350,000 grant in 2023 for the same purpose. Child nutrition is another core area. North Texas Food Bank received $350,000 in 2024 and $400,000 in 2023 for programs within the feeding children strategy. The foundation also supports early learning and family stability. MI Escuelita Preschool received $200,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for early childhood education and tuition assistance, while Jeremiah Program received $200,000 in 2024 for housing and program expenses for families of Jeremiah Program Austin. Youth enrichment appears in arts and afterschool-related grants as well, including support for Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s Young Strings and Young Musicians program and Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas’s community programs with Title I Dallas ISD schools and outdoor experience program.
Typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $81,250, the median is $187,500, and the 75th percentile is $200,000. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, especially for ongoing scholarship, food, early childhood, and youth-program support. That pattern suggests multi-year relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation is a family foundation and does not make program-related investments. Its giving is local, and the recent grants data does not indicate an open application process.
