Grants

Many issues affect the health and well-being of Central Texans. The mission of St. David’s Foundation is to overcome these challenges so that everyone has the opportunity to receive the best health care possible.

In order to achieve this goal, the Foundation grants money to nonprofit organizations in Central Texas counties that work to improve community health. These grants promote access to primary health care and related services. They can be used for agency operations or project support and are intended to assist successful organizations in achieving lasting, positive changes in the community’s health. Amounts awarded vary and depend on the scope of the project.

Proposals for grant awards are accepted by invitation only. Eligible organizations will have 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt status and service area in one or more of the following counties: Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, Williamson. For more information about our grants, please contact the appropriate Program Officer listed below based on the focus of the particular project or program. Organizations should be prepared to provide a one-page summary of the organization and project.
