We unite the community to identify and solve our most critical issues.
United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County concentrates its giving on a small set of large, program-restricted grants to San Antonio organizations serving basic needs, family support, education, and crisis response. The biggest recent awards go to the San Antonio Food Bank and Family Service Association of San Antonio Inc, both funded repeatedly across 2023 through 2025. Catholic Charities Archdiocese of San Antonio Inc and Haven for Hope are also regular recipients, with multiyear support at seven-figure levels. That pattern points to a funder that works through established local service providers rather than one-off awards. The grants show a clear emphasis on organizations that deliver direct services in the community: food assistance, housing and shelter, counseling and family services, youth development, and education-related support. Several recipients appear in multiple years, often with separate awards in each year, which suggests continuity in funding relationships. The foundation’s stated summary, “We unite the community to identify and solve our most critical issues,” aligns with the recent record of restricted-use grants directed to specific programs at core Bexar County nonprofits.
Family support and basic needs appear across several major awards. United Way of San Antonio and Bexar County gave $948,214 in 2025 to Family Violence Prevention Services Inc for a specific program, following similar restricted-use awards in 2024 and 2023. Food security is another visible thread. The foundation awarded $4,092,142 in 2025 to San Antonio Food Bank for a specific program, and the same organization also received restricted support in 2024 and 2023. Housing, shelter, and crisis-related services are also part of the portfolio. Haven for Hope received $1,353,640 in 2025 for a specific program, after another restricted grant in 2024. Education-linked work shows up as well: Communities in Schools of San Antonio received $877,754 in 2024 for a specific program, and Restore Education received grants in 2024 and 2025.
Typical grant size is in the middle six figures: the p25 is $15,976, the median is $82,419, and the p75 is $276,234. The recent grants list shows a mix of very large program-specific awards and smaller restricted grants, with several recipients appearing in multiple years. That repeated presence indicates ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation is a regular funder, and its grants are described as restricted to specific programs or project-specific support.
