The LC and Mary Worley Memorial Foundation concentrates its giving in Longview/NE Texas on local, faith-informed social service providers, prioritizing direct budget support. Their awards overwhelmingly back a sports-based youth ministry and a women-and-family shelter, indicating a focus on practical, crisis- and relationship-based interventions rather than broad national initiatives.
Highly concentrated: four relatively large grants totaling $650k, with repeat multi-year support to a single major grantee (Coaches Outreach) and the remainder to a local rescue mission. Funding is local, donor-directed, and leans toward unrestricted budget support rather than project grants.
The Lc and Mary Worley Memorial Foundation’s largest recent award was $275,000 to Hwy 80 Rescue Mission for women and families shelter services, a strong signal that its giving centers on direct, practical support for people facing crisis. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly backs a small set of Texas-based ministries and service providers, with especially visible support for shelter operations, youth ministry, and child-and-family services. Its grant record shows a mix of substantial operating-style awards and program support. Coaches Outreach received $125,000 in 2024 and again in 2025, both designated for budget support, while Buckner Ministries received multiple $50,000 grants for Buckner Children and Family Services. The foundation also sustained support for Wiseman Ministries in Longview and for Newgate Mission, reflecting a pattern of repeat relationships rather than one-off gifts. The funder’s portfolio includes scholarship support through Pine Cove and direct service support for organizations working with women, families, children, and faith-based communities. Grants also extend beyond its immediate Texas core to select partners in Rhode Island, Illinois, Virginia, and California, though the overall pattern remains anchored in nearby service organizations.
Women’s shelter services are a clear part of the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it awarded $275,000 to Hwy 80 Rescue Mission for women and families shelter services, and it also supported that organization with $35,000 grants in both 2023 and 2024. Child and family services are another recurring theme. Buckner Ministries received $50,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for Buckner Children and Family Services, showing sustained backing for that work. The foundation also funds youth-oriented scholarship support. Pine Cove received $50,000 in 2023, $45,000 in 2024, and $40,000 in 2025, all for scholarships. Alongside that, the foundation has made budget support grants to faith-based nonprofits such as Christian Women’s Job Corp and Pastors Hope Network.
The typical grant size sits at $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile, while the recent grants list also includes several larger awards above that range. Grantmaking appears relationship-based and recurring: multiple recipients appear in more than one year, including Coaches Outreach, Buckner Ministries, Wiseman Ministries, Hwy 80 Rescue Mission, Newgate Mission, and Pine Cove. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent awards lean toward operating, budget, and direct-service support rather than competitive application-style grants.
