About Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation
A $1.25 million sponsorship for the Alamo Education Build is the largest recent award from The Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation, and it shows how the funder uses major grants to support children-centered projects in Texas. Across the recent record, the foundation backs education, basic needs, health, recreation, arts access, and services for children with disabilities, often through direct program support and capital funding. Most of the grantees are in San Antonio, where the foundation also places local emphasis through grants for children’s programs and facilities. The pattern includes both large one-time awards and many mid-sized grants to organizations serving youth and families. Haven for Hope of Bexar County received $1,195,000 for basic needs for children, while Rise Recovery was awarded $332,000 for sober living high school support. Other awards show the foundation funding therapeutic services, enrichment, and child development, alongside museum access, playground work, and material support such as books, shoes, beds, and toys. The foundation’s stated purpose is to encourage, foster, support, and conduct activities and programs that benefit children residing within Texas.
What Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation Funds
In education, the foundation supported access and learning through a $100,000 grant to The Witte Museum for free admission for Title I schools and a $50,000 grant to SAISD Foundation for a mobile bus for distributing books. These awards fit a broader emphasis on educational access and literacy. Health-related giving includes a $43,000 award to UT Fdn-UTHSC SA Pedi Dental for pediatric dental equipment and a $30,000 grant to Sunshine Cottage Sch for hearing aids. The foundation also funded child and adolescent support services, including $40,100 to Children’s Bereavement Center for healing programs for grieving kids and $32,500 to Autism Community Network for general operating and counseling. For recreation and enrichment, it gave $119,000 and $81,000 to City Kids Adventures for enrichment programs for at-risk youth, and $47,730 to SAY Si for free art classes for at-risk youth.

Program support can include operating costs when they are directly tied to project goals, while capital requests can fund facilities, equipment, and similar needs.
