The foundation favors a small number of strategic, locally focused recipients and public‑private initiatives.
The largest recent gifts from Quality of Life Foundation for Metropolitan Dallas have gone to the Dallas Regional Chamber, including a $564,375 award in 2023 and a $490,000 award in 2024 for economic development and talent attraction work.
