Our mission is to build a legacy of philanthropy by attracting and prudently managing endowed gifts in order to match donor interests with community needs of the area.
A $1.48 million grant to the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts is the largest recent award in the San Angelo Area Foundation’s grant list, and it points to a funder that supports both cultural institutions and basic needs work in its region. The foundation’s recent grants also include substantial support for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Greater West Texas, La Esperanza Clinic, West Texas Counseling & Guidance, and West Texas Rehabilitation Center, showing a mix of arts, health, counseling, and human services funding. That breadth fits its mission to match donor interests with community needs through endowed gifts and community funds. The San Angelo Area Foundation operates with a local giving scope and a large annual grantmaking base, using donor-established scholarship funds, competitive community grants, and special disaster funds alongside other designated programs. Recent awards show support for youth development through Scouting America–Texas Southwest Council, House of Faith–San Angelo, and Texas Southwest Council – Boy Scouts of America, as well as help for food and nutrition services through Meals for the Elderly. The pattern is not limited to one issue area; it moves across education, recovery, libraries, animal-related community giving, and local safety-net organizations within the Concho Valley and surrounding area.
In arts and culture, the foundation gave $1,484,739 to the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in 2025 and $269,095 to the same institution in 2024. In human services, it supported the Children’s Advocacy Center of Greater West Texas Inc with $740,223 in 2024 and $190,964 in 2025. Health also appears as a repeated area, including $600,675 to La Esperanza Clinic Inc and $371,307 to West Texas Rehabilitation Center. The foundation’s youth-oriented giving includes $321,479 to Scouting America-texas Southwest Council and $260,135 to House of Faith-san Angelo in 2025, with another youth grant to Texas Southwest Council - Boy Scouts of America in 2023. Food and nutrition services appear in grants to Meals for the Elderly, including $214,741 in 2024 and $202,024 in 2025. Libraries also receive support, including a $307,001 grant to Tom Green County Library.
Typical awards fall in the middle five-figure range: the p25 grant size is $9,891, the median is $17,500, and the p75 is $42,522. The recent grant list also shows that the foundation makes some much larger awards alongside smaller scholarship and program grants. The grant record includes repeated recipients across multiple years, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time support. The foundation describes competitive community grants through an online application for some programs, while scholarship funds are managed through donor-established criteria and separate application paths. It does not fund individuals directly.
