About Harry E and Eda L Montandon Charitable Tr
The Montandon Charitable Trust appears to be a highly local, relationship-driven funder focused on Central Texas nonprofits that serve vulnerable children, families, and people with disabilities. A large share of its grants support capital projects, facility expansions, and program operating support for direct-service organizations, especially in Austin and nearby communities. It repeatedly backs a core set of grantees over multiple grants, suggesting a preference for sustaining trusted partners rather than widely spreading smaller gifts.

About Harry E and Eda L Montandon Charitable Tr
Harry E and Eda L Montandon Charitable Tr’s giving is defined by large, local capital commitments for Texas organizations serving children, youth, and people with disabilities. The biggest documented recent grant, $200,000 to Rock-ride on Center for Kids, underwrote the purchase of four acres for expansion, which fits a broader pattern of funding property, buildings, and other infrastructure that can enlarge service capacity. That same approach appears across other awards. The trust gave $125,000 to Marbridge Foundation Inc to cover a gap in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement for skilled nursing care for clients with disabilities, and $100,000 to Casa Esperanza Inc for a lot to build a sixth home. It also backed Hope House of Austin with $100,000 to build a fifth home and provide for 10 more children. Recent grants show a preference for organizations that combine direct services with physical expansion: residential care, specialized youth services, disability support, and facilities that house or serve vulnerable children and adults. The trust’s activity is concentrated in Texas and documented grants to recipients across the state reinforce that local focus.
What Harry E and Eda L Montandon Charitable Tr Funds
One major theme is housing and residential capacity for vulnerable children and young adults. The trust gave $60,000 to Foster Angels of Central Texas for the Guide to Thrive program for children aging out of foster care, with an emphasis on supportive housing, and $50,000 to Helping Hand Home for Children for its C.A.R.E. program for foster families. Another area is health and specialty services for children. It awarded $130,000 to Dell Children Medical Center to hire a child life specialist dedicated to the transplant program, and $50,000 to Austin Smiles for Central Texas cleft community programs for children. The foundation also supports disability-related programming and access. It gave $50,000 to Down Home Ranch Inc for improvements to aging infrastructure in a camp serving individuals with disabilities, and $50,000 to Rise Adventures for equipment for the disability water sports park. Education and enrichment appear as well: the trust granted $50,000 to Half Helen Foundation for pediatric vision care and prescription glasses for low-income students.
