The Greehey Family Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The Greehey Family Foundation, based in San Antonio, TX, is a strong fit for nonprofits working in health and human services, education or community support within Bexar County, with requests from elsewhere in the greater San Antonio area considered when programmes serve people from that wider area.
- In the most recent year it paid out $7,056,631 in total giving, though no grant range is stated, so applicants should look to the Foundation's own guidance rather than assume a typical award size.
- Applications are made online against fixed deadlines of April 1 and September 30, so grant writers should plan well ahead of these dates rather than approach on an ad hoc basis.
- Funding must directly support specific needs or programmes within the community, and the Foundation may request an agency tour to see the project in person and assess the organisation's capacity, so applicants should be ready to host a visit and to explain clearly how their work supports the Foundation's goals; where relevant, agencies must also report on how prior-year grant funds were used and the outcomes achieved.
- Individuals, for-profit organisations, and event sponsorships or fundraising activities are not funded, so organisations or requests of that kind should not apply.
