Harry W. Bass, Jr. Foundation

This grant provides funding to non-profit organizations focused on youth and education, especially early childhood literacy, with a preference for those based in Dallas County, Texas.

Description

The Harry W. Bass, Jr. Foundation provides grants primarily to support qualified non-profit organizations focused on youth and education, particularly in early childhood literacy (ages 0-8). Eligible applicants include public entities, churches, and 501(c)(3) public charities, with a strong preference for organizations based in Dallas County, Texas. Occasionally, grants may be awarded to organizations outside of Dallas County or in other areas such as Health & Human Services, Civic & Community, Science & Research, and Arts & Culture, though these are less common. Grants are intended for specific programs, though capital projects, general operating support, and endowment gifts may also be considered under special circumstances. The grant application process involves submitting a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) through an online portal, with full applications requested only if the LOI is of interest.

Grant proposals can be submitted at any time throughout the year but it is recommended to submit at least five months before funding is needed. The foundation's Board of Trustees meets three times per year to consider proposals.
