St. David’s Foundation, one of the largest health foundations in the country, announces more than $43 million in grant funding to benefit Central Texas. A total of 108 grants were awarded from September through December 2022 across 93 local and grassroots organizations that provide essential services and reflect the Foundation’s commitment to advancing health equity in Central Texas through investment and action. Through grantmaking, this represents $71 million in cumulative 2022 investments back into the Central Texas community.

The most significant portion of these new investments will ensure that more people have access to medical and behavioral care through safety net clinics; provide support to low-income older adults to remain in their homes and stay connected to their communities; and support systems to address housing and homelessness.

The remaining investments were distributed across the Foundation’s strategic priorities to serve and support the immediate needs of the community. Through strategic grantmaking, the Foundation seeks to support organizations that promote health and well-being across the following areas of opportunity: Resilient Children; Healthy Women and Girls; Older Adults Age in Place; Thriving Rural Communities; Clinics as Community Hubs for Health.

Each of the 93 grantee organizations was selected for their meaningful impact helping underserved and marginalized Central Texas residents. See the full list of grant recipients below.
