About Stallings Foundation
Established in 2001, the Stallings Foundation partners with nonprofits to support and sustain the lives of children and families so they can thrive and develop hope for the future. Focusing on children’s welfare, the family-run foundation provides nonprofits with grants for programs that encourage healthy families, provide youth enrichment opportunities, and provide access to mental health services to children who are experiencing adverse childhood experiences. Since 2001, the Foundation has distributed nearly $4 million to organizations that help children and families to flourish. Qualified organizations in North Texas are invited to submit a grant application here. Discover more about our grant recipients by following us on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.
