Grants
The Stallings Foundation partners with nonprofits in empowering youth and transforming the lives of families in North Texas.
We are inspired to equip children to imagine a beautiful future and create a better world.
“With high inflation and an uncertain economy, it’s critical that we are able to help seniors and families in our community who are facing hunger, homelessness and the loss of basic human needs. Grants from the Stallings Foundation have supported our general operating budget, back to school fair, holiday programs and FFS Market. The Foundation’s support has provided encouragement, hope and a sense of possibility for those in our community faced with unforeseen crisis situations. We are truly grateful for their consistent support of our mission.”
