Grants
¿Quién puede postularse? Nonprofit organizations. The foundation states it funds nonprofits through requested grants and unsolicited gifts.
The Kaleta A Doolin Foundation makes highly concentrated, intermediary-focused grants rather than direct program support. Its sole reported grant is a large contribution to the Communities Foundation of Texas, indicating the foundation uses community foundations or donor-advised vehicles to channel its philanthropy and maintain flexibility over ultimate beneficiaries.
The Kaleta A Doolin Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by a $575,000 grant to the Communities Foundation of Texas for donor-advisory funds, a signal that the foundation often works through intermediaries rather than only through direct program support. That structure fits a portfolio built around gender equity, women and girls’ health and security, education and career development, climate-change mitigation, and arts that advance social and environmental justice. The foundation also made large grants to the National Science Foundation for travel grants supporting women faculty and administrators from community and technical colleges and other non-academic organizations, and to Young Women’s Preparatory Network for academic services and school support. Alongside those education-related grants, it funded organizations such as The OpEd Project for a public fellowship on advancing reproductive rights, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and Center for Reproductive Rights, showing a consistent interest in women’s leadership, access, and advocacy. Arts and culture are another clear thread. The foundation supported Dia Art Foundation, Women’s Audio Mission, the Wexner Center Foundation, and the Brooklyn Museum, while also backing Dallas-based organizations including Documentary Arts, SMU DataArts at SMU, and the Nasher Sculpture Center. Several grants are designated as “greatest need,” and others are tied to specific projects, fellowships, and exhibitions.
In education and career development, the foundation gave $300,000 to the National Science Foundation for travel grants for women faculty and administrators from community and technical colleges and other non-academic organizations to attend an advance-equity-on-STEM convening. It also gave $297,312 to Young Women’s Preparatory Network for academic services and school support, including a designated amount for greater need. Women’s health and reproductive rights appear in multiple grants. The foundation awarded $154,000 to The OpEd Project to support 20 women participants in a public fellowship on advancing reproductive rights, and $95,000 to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas for women’s access to health care in rural areas, including the Rural Health Equity Fund. Arts support includes $100,100 to The University of Texas Foundation to support women artists selected for an artist-in-residence program, and $100,000 to Nasher Sculpture Center for exhibitions. The foundation also backed Documentary Arts for greatest need and Brooklyn Museum for greatest need.

Concentrated giving via a single large grant to a community foundation/intermediary (likely using donor-advised mechanisms) rather than many small or direct program grants.
Notable grantees: Communities Foundation of Texas
The typical grant size is $15,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile, even though the recent record includes several six-figure awards.

This is a regular funder with both requested grants and unsolicited gifts, and its active programs include Bedrock Grants, Tectonic Grants, Magma Grants, and general grantmaking.
