The Boyd & Evelyn Mullen Foundation offers grants to charitable organizations across Texas, with a priority for the Houston area. The Foundation focuses on advancing education, literary studies, science, religion, disaster preparedness and relief, human services, and medical research, particularly in nutrition. Proposals are due by July 31 each year, with grants typically ranging from $5,000 to $30,000, primarily supporting operating and program/project needs. Occasionally, 1-time capital improvements are considered. Grants are generally for one year, but multi-year proposals may be requested. While the Foundation supports initiatives across Texas, organizations serving Houston residents receive priority consideration.
