Rooted in faith and active in hope, Episcopal Health Foundation works to change systems and remove barriers to improve health — not just health care — for all Texans by addressing non-medical drivers of health through grants, research, partnerships, and policy work.
A $200 million grant to Bishop Quin Foundation in 2023 stands out in Episcopal Health Foundation’s recent record, alongside another $60 million award to the same Houston-based recipient that year. Those commitments point to a funder that works at large scale and through institutional partnerships rather than small episodic awards. Episcopal Health Foundation’s grantmaking centers on changing systems and removing barriers to improve health for Texans, with a strong emphasis on non-medical drivers of health, health coverage, and care access. Recent grants also show support for organizations serving comprehensive primary care populations, rural communities, and families needing upstream health supports. The foundation’s portfolio includes both direct health service organizations and entities working on financing, policy, and community voice. Larger awards include $3 million to Seminary of the Southwest in Austin for rural health and $2 million to Rice University in Houston for change in healthcare financing. Its recent activity also reaches clinics and community providers across Texas, with repeated support for organizations such as Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas and Lone Star Circle of Care. The pattern suggests a grantmaker that combines program support, systems change, and targeted support for service-delivery infrastructure.
Health coverage and benefits is a visible theme in the recent grants. Episcopal Health Foundation gave $750,000 to Foundation Communities in Austin to expand health coverage and benefits, and $600,000 to Baylor College of Medicine in Houston for the same broad aim. Financing and payment reform is another core area: it awarded $878,470 to Dell Medical School - UT Austin and $750,000 to Texas Association of Community Health Centers Inc, both for change in healthcare financing. Upstream prevention appears in the foundation’s support for Lone Star Circle of Care, which received $1 million in 2025 and $700,000 in 2024 for work upstream. The foundation also backed community voice work, including $600,000 to Avenue Community Development Corp in Houston to raise community voices.
Episcopal Health Foundation’s typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $100,000, the median is $247,750, and the 75th percentile is $418,008. The recent record includes a few very large commitments, but most grants cluster below the seven-figure range. The grant list shows repeated support to several recipients across multiple years, including Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, Lone Star Circle of Care, Avenue 360 Health & Wellness, and Avenue Community Development Corp. The foundation is a regular funder, funds organizations rather than individuals, and also makes program-related investments. The data does not show an application process.
