About Texas Women's Foundation
Texas Women’s Foundation centers grantmaking on women’s economic security, stability, and success, with a recent portfolio that includes both large community investments and targeted support for health, housing, education, and leadership. One of its largest recent grants went to Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity Inc for general operating support, while Center for Transforming Lives in Fort Worth received funding to support integrated services, including rapid rehousing. The foundation also backed Harmony Community Development Corporation for its housing program, signaling attention to housing stability as a barrier affecting women and families. Its 2024 grants also show support for women’s health infrastructure across Texas, from reproductive health clinics to maternal and midwifery care, alongside investments in out-of-school-time systems and leadership development. Grant sizes range from modest operating awards to six-figure grants, and the portfolio includes program support, general operating support, capacity-building, and restricted project funding. Recent grants reached organizations in Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, Houston, and multiple smaller Texas communities, reflecting a broad statewide footprint inside a local giving scope.
What Texas Women's Foundation Funds
Housing stability is a visible theme in the foundation’s recent grantmaking. It gave $200,000 to Center for Transforming Lives to support integrated services, including rapid rehousing, and another $200,000 to Harmony Community Development Corporation for the Harmony Housing & Resource Center’s housing program. Children and youth-serving infrastructure also appears in the portfolio. Dallas Afterschool Network received $185,000 to advance Dallas County’s out-of-school-time system, and Young Women’s Preparatory Network received $56,000 in general operational support. Health access is another clear focus. The foundation awarded $60,000 to Health Services of North Texas Inc for reproductive healthcare for low-income, uninsured patients, $60,000 to Gulf Coast Health Center Inc to purchase a new ultrasound machine, and $50,000 to Abide Womens Health Services to support a full-time midwife. Legal and survivor-related services are present as well, including $70,000 to Earl Carl Institute for Legal and Social Policy I to fund support for YWI and YWAC in Houston.
