The Moody Foundation empowers Texas communities to thrive and prosper. The foundation supports both large-scale initiatives and smaller projects that align with their mission of improving the quality of life for Texans.

The Foundation is currently focusing on grants that are in line with the following key areas of giving: 

• Education

• Social services and family well-being

• Health and wellness

• Arts

However, the Foundation maintains broad flexibility in grantmaking, both geographically and categorically within Texas, which allows timely responses to community needs and concerns.

The Foundation will consider most types of funding requests (including general operating, program, and capital).

We accept inquiry letters on an ongoing basis, and our trustees meet four times a year to consider grant awards. Because of this, the grant application process from inquiry to funding decision may take up to six months; please consider this time frame in determining what projects you propose for Moody Foundation funding.

You may submit up to three projects for consideration. If a project is to receive further consideration, you will be sent a grant application guideline. You will be notified in writing if none of the proposed projects fit into the present funding interests of the Foundation.
