    About Moody Endowment

    The Moody Endowment centers its giving on the rehabilitation of people with head injuries, with a funding pattern that reaches from large medical and construction commitments to smaller support for education, social services, and adaptive programming. One of the clearest examples is the multiyear support for TLC at Galveston, which appears in three recent grants tied to medical research and construction, including a $12,648,760 award in 2023 and two additional multimillion-dollar grants in 2024 and 2025. The endowment also backs brain-injury-related institutions beyond Texas, such as a $449,883 grant to Northwestern University for medical research and a $375,000 grant to Achilles International for disabled athlete support. Alongside its core rehabilitation mission, the foundation funds related charitable, educational, and scientific work, including services for people with disabilities, medical education, and selected community-based programs. That mix shows a funder that supports both specialized clinical infrastructure and the surrounding network of care, training, and recovery services.

    What Moody Endowment Funds

    Brain injury rehabilitation is the clearest through line in the endowment’s recent grantmaking. It gave $2,129,472 to University of Tx Medical Br for medical research, and $6,057 to Nashia for medical research. The foundation also supports rehabilitation delivery and patient services through institutional and community partners. In social services, it awarded $100,000 to Best Buddies International for social services and $50,000 to Team Luke Hope for Minds for social services. The portfolio includes support for adaptive participation as well: Achilles International received $375,000 for disabled athlete support. Education and public-facing programming also appear, with $75,000 going to The Council on Recovery for medical education and $50,000 to the New York Metropolitan Museum for art education.

    How Moody Endowment Gives

    Typical awards cluster around a $50,000 p25, $75,000 median, and $393,721 p75, though the funder also makes very large project grants. Recent recipients repeat across years, including TLC at Galveston, Camp Aranzazu, Team Luke Hope for Minds, and the New York Metropolitan Museum, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time support only. The Moody Endowment is a grantmaking foundation; it funds nonprofits, not individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its active grant programs indicate that unsolicited inquiries are accepted, with grants primarily directed to Texas and some support outside the state.
