The King Foundation aims to devote a third of its annual grants budget to larger initiatives serving its geographic areas in Arkansas, North Texas, and West Texas. Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) are accepted on a rolling basis after first speaking with the Foundation's President.
The Board of Directors periodically establishes specific areas of interest for Initiative Grants (although it may consider other areas). The current Board is especially interested in grants:
01. Serving the rural areas of their footprint, such as projects related to broadband access, economic development, healthcare access, and nonprofit capacity.
02. Serving veterans and military families through coordinated service delivery, mental health services, and homelessness prevention.
03. Serving youth and adults who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
