The Posey-Glickert Foundation concentrates its giving on biomedical and health research, directing most funding to established research institutions and university-affiliated centers. Its grants prioritize cancer and medical research (notably MD Anderson and the NIH Foundation) while occasionally supporting education-related programs tied to youth and workforce pathways. The foundation favors institutional partners and programmatic research support over small community-based charities.
Posey-glickert Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by medical research, with repeated support for major research institutions and university-affiliated centers. The largest recent grant in the data is $35,000 to Nih Foundation in Bethesda for medical research, followed by $30,000 grants to MD Andersen in Houston in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern points to a funder that returns to a small set of institutional partners rather than spreading grants broadly across many grantees. The foundation also backs child and family health research through the UT Dallas Center for Children & Families in Richardson, which received $18,000 in 2025 and $15,000 in both 2023 and 2024. Alongside that research support, the foundation has made a smaller set of education and service grants, including support for Bridgeyear in Houston and Any Baby Can in Austin. Its recent portfolio includes mental health services, homeless housing, early childhood education, and postsecondary pathway work, but the core of the grantmaking remains biomedical and health research.
Medical and clinical research is the clearest thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $20,000 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2023 to Nih Foundation for medical research, and it also awarded $10,000 in 2025 and $10,000 in 2023 to Mayo Clinic for the same purpose. Child and family health research appears through university-based work: UT Dallas Center for Children & Families received $18,000 in 2025 and $15,000 in both 2023 and 2024. In education, the foundation supported Bridgeyear with $17,000 in 2025, $15,000 in 2024, and $13,000 in 2023. It also funded Any Baby Can in Austin at $15,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for education, therapy, and family support services. The portfolio includes smaller grants to mental health services, homeless housing, and early childhood education programs.
Typical grants cluster in a narrow band: p25 is $7,500, median is $10,000, and p75 is $15,000. The recent record also shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including MD Andersen, Nih Foundation, Bridgeyear, Any Baby Can, UT Dallas Center for Children & Families, Mayo Clinic, Ann Richards School Foundation, Manos De Cristo, Caritas, and Prelude Music Foundation. The foundation is not a DAF and does not make program-related investments. Grantmaking appears program-specific and mostly directed to established institutions rather than individuals or one-off seed funding.
