OUR GRANTS
Thank you for your interest in applying.
- The Foundation does not make loans or grants to individuals.
- The Internal Revenue Service must determine the applicant organization to be exempt from federal income tax.
- Applicants must provide a copy of their IRS Determination Letter of Ruling identifying their organization as exempt under Section 501(c)3 and exempt from Private Foundation Status under Section 509(a). Applicants exempt under a Government Municipality must provide a W-9.
- Effective June 20, 2024, the Foundation implemented a moratorium on grant requests to support capital campaigns and projects. Any grant requests for capital projects will be rejected.
Our current geographic area of giving is focused on the 57 counties of West Texas as defined by the Foundation. Any organization headquartered outside of this area will be considered based on the services provided to this area and demonstrate concrete activity.
- Applicants must seek funding for the same proposal from various sources.
- All requests from universities and colleges should be approved by the university or colleges development office and submitted by the development office.
- Due to the number and magnitude of grant requests received each year, the Foundation cannot respond favorably to all grant requests. Grants are made without any commitment to future support of operations or specific projects.
*By proceeding, you agree that you understand the grant guidelines.
Have you received funding from the Abell-Hanger Foundation in the past 24 months?

- For the February 2025 grant cycle, please provide us with your Intent to Apply or Letter of Intent (LOI) before Monday, December 9, 2024.
- Create a login and submit a Pre-Proposal Questionnaire (PPQ). The PPQ is designed to save the applicant and the Foundation time by providing us with a brief and concise case summary. PPQs allow our trustees to determine their level of interest.
- If interest is shown, you will be provided with instructions regarding the submission deadline.
- You will also be notified if there was no interest in reviewing a full application and the PPQ was declined.
- PPQs are reviewed every 4-6 weeks. Organizations may not apply for the same or similar projects more than once within the Foundation’s fiscal year (7/1-6/30).
- If your PPQ is declined, you must wait 12 months before reapplying.
- To be considered for the February 2025 grant cycle, please provide us with your PPQ before Friday, November 29, 2024.
