Encompass Cares is a great organization. Our team of employees have been able to help so many people with support of Encompass Cares grants in our Fort Worth, Granbury, Hillsboro, Weatherford, Cleburne, Southlake, Denton, Duncanville and Burleson communities. We have provided food for needy families during the holidays. We have provided over 250 box fans to families in the hot Texas summers. We were able to provide holiday gifts to many children and their families during Christmas with support of Encompass Cares grants. Our team has received support from Encompass Cares to help fight cancer by raising over $10,000 for the American Cancer society Relay for Life in Fort Worth. We have also been blessed to participate in our project ignite random acts of kindness by giving our gifts cards to unexpected shoppers in local Kroger grocery store. We had shoppers telling us that with our gift card help they were able to buy additional food for their family.
Encompass Cares is an EXCEPTIONAL organization which helps our local communities and also larger world community.
Clients are ignored. I left messages and emailed with no response. I was awarded a grant, but never saw the funds dispersed. I was going to use these funds to travel to South Africa on a mission trip to help jump start a health education program. I was awarded a small grant, but even after emailing both the funds coordinator and the Executive Director as well as calling and leaving messages, I never saw the funds. I know they have my contact information correct because I was notified when I got the grant.

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, your sponsoring organization could not be verified for grant disbursement. The Encompass Cares mission is to care better by supporting medical mission trips, community projects and emergency employee hardships. We do not, however, give grants to individuals as we cannot verify their authenticity. Being good stewards is a pillar of our values.
