About Premier Foundation
The Premier Foundation’s recent giving is built around operational support for organizations serving people in need, with especially large commitments to meals, shelter, military family services, and faith-based community work. The two biggest recent grants both went to Meals on Wheels Collin County in McKinney, Texas: $475,000 in 2024 and $400,000 in 2025, both for operational support. Other large awards show the same pattern of backing day-to-day capacity rather than project-only funding, including $350,000 to USO Texas in Irving, Texas, and $300,000 to The Samaritan Inn in McKinney, Texas. The foundation’s stated aim is to serve disadvantaged and impoverished people by meeting physical, spiritual, educational, social, and emotional needs, and that intent appears in the mix of grantees it funds. Recent grants also include SafeHaven of Tarrant County, One Community Church Plano, and The Hope Church of Detroit, reflecting a donor that supports both direct-service and community-based organizations. Most of the grant list is in the United States, with repeated awards to several Texas recipients across multiple years.
What Premier Foundation Funds
Disaster relief and humanitarian aid appear through direct operating grants to service organizations such as USO Texas in Irving, which received $350,000 in 2024 for operational support. Housing and shelter services are another clear theme: The Samaritan Inn in McKinney received $300,000 in 2024 and another $200,000 in 2025, both for operational support. In family and safety services, SafeHaven of Tarrant County in Arlington received $200,000 in 2025 and $150,000 in 2024. The foundation also funds health-adjacent and community care work, including $100,000 to Parkinson Voice Project in Richardson in 2023 and $75,000 in 2025 for operational support. That mix aligns with its stated concern for physical, educational, social, and emotional needs.
How Premier Foundation Gives
The Premier Foundation’s typical grant size is fairly large: the 25th percentile is $42,500, the median is $100,000, and the 75th percentile is $122,500. Recent giving also includes several much larger operating awards, which suggests support can scale up for organizations with ongoing infrastructure needs. The grant list shows repeated funding to the same recipients across multiple years, especially in Texas, indicating an ongoing relationship model rather than one-off awards. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants are framed overwhelmingly as operational support, unrestricted/general operating support, and capacity building.
