Background

In March 2026, St. David’s Foundation launched the We All Benefit 2.0: Building Economic Stability funding opportunity, focused on investing in local, community-informed organizations providing core economic stability services (income supports, food security, and healthcare access) to the communities with the greatest health needs in Central Texas—communities that have faced systemic barriers to resources, opportunity, and representation due to race, ethnicity, income level, immigration status, language, geography, sexual orientation, gender, or other factors.  

The Foundation awarded $41 million to 39 organizations recognizing both their expertise and trusted relationships within historically marginalized communities to connect people to critical public benefit resources.  

Overview

The focus of this funding opportunity was to strengthen the local infrastructure that helps people enroll in public benefits that foster economic stability, specifically: 

• Income Supports: Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, SSI, and SSDI 

• Food Security: SNAP and WIC 

• Healthcare Access: Medicaid, CHIP, and Marketplace 

The goals of this funding opportunity were to: 

• Increase the number of Central Texans enrolled in public benefits for which they are eligible. 

• Strengthen community hubs and culturally responsive practices that address the fears, administrative burdens, and other barriers that impede enrollment, particularly for historically marginalized populations. 

• Increase co-location and coordination among service providers that reduce barriers for community members to access benefits and economic supports.
