Foundation Grants

Grants are awarded to organizations providing legal services to women, children, and families in the Central Texas area. Grants are generally intended to fund a specific project of the recipient’s program, rather than merely contributing to a general operating budget. Traditional Grants are usually awarded in the range of $2,000 to $5,000. Limited Impact Grants may be awarded in amounts of $10,000 or more. The grants are awarded at the Foundation’s annual spring luncheon, a celebration co-hosted with TCWLA. A representative of the successful grantee should be available to attend our awards luncheon.

Due to the recent ice storm, the deadline to submit grant applications has been extended to February 14th.
