Our vision is for every Texoman to feel a sense of hope & purpose. Support the health and well-being of the Texoma community through strategic grantmaking, philanthropy services, place-based investments, and programs such as Reba's Ranch House.
Texoma Health Foundation’s grantmaking is anchored by a large place-based investment in community infrastructure: multiple recent grants of $793,519 to the City of Denison for THF Park Construction. That pattern sits alongside support for health access, mental health, nursing, and emergency response across the Texoma region. The foundation also funds services that are more targeted to local needs, including $570,000 to Fannin County for Fannin County EMS Services and $268,000 to Austin College for the SEPA Program. The foundation’s stated vision is for every Texoman to feel a sense of hope and purpose, and its work reflects that scope through strategic grantmaking, philanthropy services, place-based investments, and programs such as Reba’s Ranch House. Recent grants also show support for health and wellness providers and community institutions in Denison, Sherman, Bonham, and Durant. Across its portfolio, the foundation combines operating support, project support, capital funding, and emergency aid rather than relying on one type of grant.
Mental health and access to care appear repeatedly in the foundation’s community grant programs. One recent award gave $200,000 to Imagine Durant Inc for the Blue Zones Health & Wellness Project, tying health promotion to community well-being in Durant. Another recent grant provided $150,000 to Greater Texoma Health Clinic for program/project support. Workforce development is another clear thread. Texoma Health Foundation awarded $225,502 to Region 10 Education Service Center for program/project support, and its active grant cycles specifically prioritize measurably increasing or retaining nurses in the four-county service area. The foundation also supports crisis response and basic needs. Open Arms Shelter in Bonham received $185,988 for an emergency grant award, showing that the foundation funds both long-term health initiatives and short-term stabilization. In addition, its taxonomy includes shelter support and household items, along with disaster recovery for storm-affected communities.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s larger capital awards: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $20,000, and the 75th percentile is $46,100. The recent record includes both one-time project funding and recurring support, with several recipients appearing in multiple years, such as City of Denison, Fannin County, and Open Arms Shelter. The foundation’s active programs show a mix of competitive community grants and donor/themed funds through Texoma Giving Partners. It also accepts unsolicited applications in several community grant cycles, while some specialized funds are closed to unsolicited requests.
