Opportunity Overview
The Greehey Family Foundation’s Fall 2026 grant cycle is open. The Foundation supports nonprofit organizations improving health, human welfare, education, children and youth services, homelessness response, and overall community well-being in San Antonio and surrounding communities.
Deadline and Current Cycle
The Fall applicant portal is open from July 15 through September 30, 2026. The Foundation states that fall applications are due September 30, 2026 and are considered at the Fall Board Meeting. The review process may take up to three months after the deadline.
Who Can Apply
Applicants must be organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation does not award grants to individuals or for-profit organizations. Funding is primarily directed to agencies providing programs and services in Bexar County; requests from outside Bexar County may also be considered when programs serve people from the greater San Antonio area.
Healthcare and Human-Services Fit
The Foundation’s stated priorities include health and human welfare, with support for organizations addressing medical needs, mental health, addiction, children and youth, seniors, homelessness, hardship, trauma, and related community needs. Funding must directly support a specific need or program; event sponsorships and fundraising activities are generally not supported.
Funding Amount
No standard grant amount or universal award ceiling is published for the Fall 2026 cycle. Applicants are required to state the amount requested and show that amount as a percentage of both the proposed program budget and the organization’s overall budget. Atlas therefore does not infer or invent an award range.
Application Requirements
The Foundation requires applicants to provide the organization’s purpose and history, proof of 501(c)(3) status, a description of the problem or need, alignment with Foundation goals, program objectives and timeline, detailed project and operating budgets, current funders and funding amounts, Board information when applicable, the requested amount, and a prior-grant use report when applicable.
The Foundation typically awards each agency only one grant per year. Prior recipients must reapply annually. Incomplete applications may not be considered.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a credible, currently open Texas healthcare and human-services funding pathway for qualified San Antonio-area nonprofits. The strongest fit is for organizations with a clearly defined local health, behavioral-health, pediatric, aging, homelessness, or related human-services program and a well-developed budget and outcomes case.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 18/100 conditional. The Foundation supports health needs and specific community programs but does not expressly identify connected clinical equipment, telehealth hardware, or similar technology as a standard eligible expense. Any technology request should be applicant-led and confirmed as appropriate within the Foundation’s current program rules before a vendor pathway is assumed. QC Healthcare Fit: 12/100 conditional; the public guidelines do not establish a direct physician-coverage funding mechanism.
Next Action
Eligible nonprofits should confirm geographic fit, select a specific health or human-services need, assemble the required organizational and budget documentation, quantify the request against both the project and organization budgets, and submit through the Foundation’s current online application portal before September 30, 2026.
