Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Community Foundations, Philanthropy
Mission: The community foundation of west texas enhances the lives of all residents of the texas south plains region, now and for generations to come, by working together with our donors to build community endowment, address needs through grantmaking and provide leadership on key community issues.
Programs: The organization's largest program is grantmaking. Approximately 37% of grants in 2016 were directed by the board of directors through field of interest and discretionary funds that address vital community needs in the south plains region and respond to emerging opportunities in a wide range of charitable organizations. Focus areas include basic needs and self sufficiency, education and youth, civic, social and economic development, and arts and culture. 10% of funds distributed in 2016 were from scholarship funds. The remaining 47% of grants authorized by the board of directors in 2016 were from designated and donor-advised funds.
the organization is committed to growing regional philanthropy through its network of rural affiliates. In 2016, the community foundation and its affiliates in plainview/hale county, post/garza county, levelland/hockley county and slaton launched an initiative to deepen community engagement and promote the accelerated growth of endowed assets for the benefit of these communities.
