For Nonprofits

Waco Foundation supports local McLennan County 501(c)(3) nonprofits through grants, guidance and fund management - strengthening their ability to make an impact on critical issues in our community both today and in the future. The Foundation supports nonprofit organizations in several ways: 

  • We provide Discretionary Grants twice per year through a competitive process.  Nonprofits seeking a discretionary grant must meet our grant guidelines and complete an application for funding. Learn more about our grantmaking. If you have specific questions regarding a grant application please contact Nicole Wynter, Director Grants & Capacity Building, at nwynter@wacofoundation.org.
  • We provide services to nonprofit organizations though our Capacity Building Program.  Our Capacity Building program provides a range of support to local nonprofits through a variety of different methods. Learn more about capacity building.
  • We also manage nonprofit endowments, reserve funds and project funds as a part of our mission. Learn more about Waco Foundation's fund management services.
