Eligible EntitiesOrganizations seeking to apply for a grant through The Moody Foundation’s Education M-Pact Fund must meet the following requirements: 1) Must be a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization or a public entity (e.g., a municipality, health department, or university/school). 2) Funds may only be granted and used within the state of Texas. 3) Provide services directly related to The Moody Foundation’s strategic pillars of Early Learning and Postsecondary Success, as further detailed below. 4) Commitment to complete all grantee requirements including annual grant reporting and participation in M-Pact grantee network activities during the term of the grant. 5) Ability to measure and report grant-related progress on one or more key metrics within the fund’s designated strategic pillars.
Focus AreaThe Moody Foundation’s Education M-Pact Fund is an annual grantmaking process and a key component of the Foundation’s historic commitment of $1 billion for Texas education over 20 years. The name of the “M-Pact” fund reflects the trustees’ vision of a mutual promise and partnership between the Foundation and its grantees to support student success. With benefits extending beyond grant funding, the Education M-Pact Fund will cultivate a comprehensive network of grantees who are fueling student success in areas of deepest impact and greatest need. Through an open Request for Proposals (RFP), The Moody Foundation will distribute grants annually to education institutions and nonprofits whose work aligns with the Foundation’s strategic priorities of Early Learning and Postsecondary Success. The fund will amplify the impact of these grants through strategic initiatives including: 1) Direct collaboration with relevant governing agencies to identify education funding gaps and strategically deploy resources; 2) Building intentional, collaborative networks among M-Pact grantees including a fully funded annual convening among representatives from each organization; and 3) Shared, targeted outcomes across grantees within each strategic pillar to enable impact measurement for the initiative over multiple years, at scale. The M-Pact Fund will be complemented by annual regional giving through the Foundation’s traditional grant application process, allowing for continued support of organizations whose work falls outside of the fund’s strategic pillars. This includes broader education giving, as well as grants that support the Foundation’s vision for benefiting the people of Texas. Together, these initiatives will encompass a comprehensive, strategic approach to the Foundation’s education grantmaking and support the success of Texas students from cradle to career.
