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. Grants awarded in the past have been in the range of $500 to $3,000 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.
