    About Texas Organizing Project Education Fund

    Texas Organizing Project Education Fund’s largest recent grant went to the Texas Organizing Project for $1,580,000 in 2025 to increase non-partisan voter participation. That award reflects the funder’s core pattern: using grant dollars to back organizing, civic engagement, and coalition work that builds political power for Black and Latino communities in Texas. The foundation has also repeatedly funded election-related organizing, including a $800,000 grant in 2023 to the same organization for non-partisan participation in the November 2022 election. The funder’s portfolio includes support for health advocacy, public education, criminal justice reentry, disaster recovery, and community-based organizing. Its grants show a mix of direct support to Texas groups and pass-through funding tied to coalition work. In 2025, it backed Restoring Justice for ongoing programmatic initiatives, and it also supported healthcare organizing through the Sick Of It Texas coalition through multiple partners. The foundation’s stated organizing focus centers Black and Latino communities in Harris, Dallas, Bexar, and Fort Bend counties. Across the recent grants list, that mission appears in both large-scale civic participation grants and smaller awards to local groups working on voting, school advocacy, parent organizing, and neighborhood-based advocacy.

    What Texas Organizing Project Education Fund Funds

    Non-partisan voter participation is the clearest thread in the recent grants list. Texas Organizing Project Education Fund gave $1,580,000 to Texas Organizing Project in 2025 for non-partisan activities to increase voter participation, and earlier gave $800,000 to the same grantee for the November 2022 election. Healthcare organizing is another recurring theme. In 2025, the foundation awarded $175,000 to Children’s Defense Fund and $150,000 to Every Texan for healthcare organizing through the Sick Of It Texas coalition. Two other partners in that coalition received $62,500 each: Panhandle Community Services and Project Vida Health Center. The foundation also funds education and neighborhood-level advocacy. CVPE Educational Forum Inc received $75,000 in 2025 for parent organizing, while Texas Latino Pride received $15,000 in 2024 to cultivate civic participation in the Latino community. In addition, Ground Game Fund received $35,000 in 2025 for a local Dallas ballot measure.

The recent list shows both very large awards and many smaller operating or programmatic grants, indicating a layered funding approach. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not make program-related investments or fund individuals. Several recipients appear more than once across years, including Texas Organizing Project, Restoring Justice, Every Texan, Children’s Defense Fund, and Urban Community Network. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time support. The grants also include general operations, programmatic initiatives, coalition support, and subgrant/pass-through funding tied to named projects.
