The Cash Family Foundation concentrates its giving locally in Lubbock area education and youth development, with major gifts to both K–12 faith-based schools and Texas Tech University. Grants emphasize institutional support and capital/program donations—often large, multi-thousand-dollar gifts—and include faith-based education, agricultural/ranch experiential learning, and university athletics/advancement. The foundation favors a small number of sizeable commitments and repeats support to the same organizations.
The Cash Family Foundation C/o Clay Cash shows a clear preference for concentrated, multi-year support in Lubbock-area education and youth development, with several of its largest grants going to the same local institutions. A 2025 charitable donation of $350,000 to Ranch Life Learning Centernrhc is the single largest recent grant in the data and fits the foundation’s emphasis on ranch-based learning and experiential education. The giving pattern also reaches Christian K–12 schooling, higher education, and athletics, including major support for Southcrest Christian School, Texas Tech Foundation, and Red Raider Club. The foundation’s recent portfolio includes sizable gifts to Texas Tech-related entities, reflecting a close relationship with the university ecosystem in Lubbock. It also funds faith-based and community-oriented organizations outside that core set, such as America First Policy Institute and Oklahoma Christian School. Across the recent grants listed, the foundation appears to favor established institutions and repeated commitments rather than a wide spread of small awards.
Education is a central theme. The foundation gave $280,000 to Southcrest Christian School for a charitable donation, and it also supported Oklahoma Christian School with a $100,000 charitable donation. Higher education is another recurring area: Texas Tech Foundation received multiple grants, including $244,541, $155,249, and $137,000 in 2023 and 2024. Ranch and agricultural learning appears as a distinct focus through Ranch Life Learning Centernrhc, which received $176,105 in 2024 and $100,895 in the same year. The foundation also backs Texas Tech’s athletic and experiential programs, including $100,000 to Texas Tech Rodeo and $70,000 to Texas Tech Equestrian Center, showing a preference for student and campus-adjacent initiatives with a practical or community-facing dimension.
Typical grant size clusters around a median of $30,000, with a lower quartile of $15,328 and an upper quartile of $77,500. The recent grants show repeated support to the same organizations over multiple years, especially in Lubbock. The foundation makes direct charitable donations and general operating support, and the data also shows at least one program-specific contribution. It funds individuals as well as organizations, though the recent-grants list here is entirely institutional. The pattern is selective rather than broad: a relatively small set of recipients receives multiple awards, often at sizable levels.

Giving is overwhelmingly local. Eighty-two of the listed grants went to recipients in Texas, and the recent-grants table is dominated by Lubbock organizations. Other Texas recipients include Post Stampede Inc in Post and Texas Ranger Association Foundation in Waco. Outside Texas, the foundation made grants to America First Policy Institute in Washington, DC; Oklahoma Christian School in Edmond, Oklahoma; and American Junior Golf Association in Braselton, Georgia. The recipient-country distribution is entirely US-based in the data provided.
The grant-size distribution centers on a median of $30,000, with a lower quartile of $15,328 and an upper quartile of $77,500. Recent awards range from smaller $35,000 grants to much larger commitments such as $350,000.

The data shows support for Christian K–12 education, higher education philanthropy and athletics at Texas Tech University, ranch-based youth development and experiential learning, and other community-oriented areas such as faith-based events, scholarships, and youth sports.
Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Ranch Life Learning Centernrhc, Texas Tech Foundation, Texas Tech Rodeo, Ranching Heritage Association, and America First Policy Institute. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-time gifts.
