    About United Way of Tarrant County

    United Way of Tarrant County’s recent giving is defined by large, recurring support for basic-needs services in Tarrant County, especially food access and transportation for older adults. Meals on Wheels Inc of Tarrant County appears at the top of the recent grants list with awards of $5,177,209 in 2024, $5,172,831 in 2025, and $4,877,470 in 2023, tied to transportation vouchers, home-delivered meals, participant assessment, Healthy Ideas, and CLP. That pattern shows a funder using major grants to sustain core service delivery over multiple years rather than limiting support to one-off projects. The foundation also backs organizations serving people facing overlapping barriers. In 2025, Violence Intervention Prevention Fort Worth received $800,000 for general support, while The Women's Center of Tarrant County received $548,189 for general support after prior awards for adult literacy education, support and security to raped adults and children, employment preparation, counseling, and adult literacy evaluation. Other sizable grants went to Community Enrichment Center, Recovery Resource Council, Steady State Impact, and Pathfinders of Tarrant County, all within a local service ecosystem centered on family stability, health, and community safety.

    What United Way of Tarrant County Funds

    Aging and disability services are a visible part of the portfolio. Meals on Wheels Inc of Tarrant County received repeated multimillion-dollar awards tied to transportation vouchers and home-delivered meals, and the Alzheimer's Association of North Central Texas received $242,593 in 2025 for general support after a 2023 grant for senior support and care to prevent senior isolation. Maternal and family support also appears through targeted grants. Safehaven of Tarrant County received $221,406 in 2023 and $184,651 in 2024 for emergency crisis shelter, transitional living arrangements, pregnancy and parenting teen services, and related family programming. Catholic Charities received $250,487 in 2023 for financial assistance, employment, health services, child care, counseling, and family services. The foundation also funds behavioral health and recovery work. Recovery Resource Council received $171,829 in 2023 and $169,633 in 2024 for client intervention, case management, drug and alcohol education, parent connection classes, and the Sunshine Club.
