Focus Area
Greater Texas Foundation is dedicated to helping more Texas students earn a degree or credential after high school. As a private foundation, they do this work by making grants, building organizational capacity, supporting collective action, funding and sharing research, convening leaders, and forming partnerships, all with a focus on student success. The foundation prioritizes four areas of critical needs: 1) Sustainable, data-driven student supports, so more Texans of all backgrounds can get a postsecondary credential; 2) Transition policies and practices that provide affordable, clear, and efficient postsecondary pathways so students can experience a smooth and successful academic trajectory; 3) Partnerships with rural communities to ensure the students who live there have the academic resources, guidance, and support they need to complete a credential; and 4) Scalable math education models that will allow more Texas students to successfully prepare for and complete a postsecondary credential. If you are interested in applying for funding from Greater Texas Foundation, please send an email to the Director of Programs and Strategy. The Director will then contact you to discuss your program or project and determine whether it aligns with the foundation’s mission, strategy, and funding criteria.
