    Summary

    Greater Texas Foundation is dedicated to helping more Texas students earn a degree or credential after high school. As a private foundation, we do this work by making grants, building organizational capacity, supporting collective action, funding and sharing research, convening leaders, and forming partnerships, all with a focus on student success.


    We prioritize our work around four areas of critical needs:

    1. Sustainable, data-driven student support- So more Texans of all backgrounds can get a postsecondary credential,
    2. Transition policies and practices- that provide affordable, clear, and efficient postsecondary pathways so students can experience a smooth and successful academic trajectory,
    3. Partnerships with rural communities- to ensure the students who live there have the academic resources, guidance, and support they need to complete a credential, and
    4. Scalable math education models- that will allow more Texas students to successfully prepare for and complete a postsecondary credential.

  • Eligibility Details

    Eligible applicants are Texas non profit organizations. Specifically, GTF makes grants to organizations that:

    • are described in section 501(c)(3) of the IRS Code, or are governmental units described in Section 170(c)(1) or 511(a)(2)(b) of the IRS Code;
    • support the mission of the foundation through Texas-based or Texas-focused work; and
    • support or provide specific programs targeting education in furtherance of Greater Texas Foundation's exempt purposes, mission, and vision.

    Deadline Details

    If you are interested in applying for funding from Greater Texas Foundation, the first step is to email the Director of Programs and Strategy. The Director will then contact you to discuss your program or project and determine whether it aligns with the foundation's mission, strategy, and funding criteria.


    If your program or project is a potential fit, you will be invited to submit a brief concept paper, along with a line-item budget, via the foundation's online application system. The concept paper introduces GTF staff and board to your idea so they can consider whether to invite a proposal.

    Award Details

    Grants typically range between $150,000 and $300,000. However, grant size is dependent on a number of factors. The foundation supports multi-year grants. Generally, grant length is determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the scope, scale, and complexity of the project.
