The Sid W. Richardson Foundation (Fort Worth, TX) shows a highly concentrated giving pattern: nearly $69.5 million awarded in three grants, all recorded as support to a single primary recipient. The foundation appears to favor large, institution-level investments rather than many small grants, suggesting a focus on sustaining major beneficiaries—likely regionally significant organizations in the Fort Worth/Texas area—through substantial unrestricted or support gifts.
Very concentrated: a small number of large grants (three grants totaling ~$69.5M) to a single primary grantee, indicating repeat funding and preference for substantial awards over broad, distributed giving.
A single Fort Worth recipient appears across the foundation’s three largest recent grants, with awards of $22.8 million to $23.7 million labeled simply “Support.” That pattern points to Sid W Richardson Foundation’s preference for major institutional funding rather than a broad portfolio of smaller gifts. The foundation’s recent record shows sustained, high-dollar backing for anchor organizations in Texas, especially in Fort Worth, where all recorded recipient activity lands. The largest grant on file, $23,654,881 in 2025, went to See Attached List in Fort Worth. In 2024, the foundation followed with $22,830,417 to the same recipient, and in 2023 it gave $22,980,684, again to See attached list. Taken together, these awards suggest a grantmaking style built around repeated support to a primary beneficiary over multiple years. Sid W Richardson Foundation’s scale is also notable: annual grants total $69,465,982, and the latest 990 year on file is 2025.
Sid W Richardson Foundation’s giving is centered on large institutional support for Texas organizations. In 2025, it awarded $23,654,881 to See Attached List in Fort Worth for Support, continuing a multi-year relationship with that recipient. The same pattern appeared in 2024, when the foundation gave $22,830,417 to See Attached List, also in Fort Worth, again for Support. A third grant in 2023 provided $22,980,684 to See attached list in Fort Worth. The repeated use of the broad “Support” designation suggests flexible funding rather than narrowly targeted project grants. Across the recent record, the foundation’s work is tied to a small set of anchor beneficiaries rather than a wide spread of cause areas.
The grant-size profile is tightly clustered: p25 is $22,867,984, the median is $22,905,550, and p75 is $22,943,117. That narrow spread matches a very concentrated giving pattern. Recent records also show recurrence: the same Fort Worth recipient appears in multiple consecutive years, indicating ongoing support rather than one-time awards. Sid W Richardson Foundation is classified as a regular funder and does not fund individuals. It also does not make program-related investments. The recent grants are recorded as support gifts, which points to flexible institutional funding.
