Texas Methodist Foundation 2027 Competitive Grants

Texas Methodist Foundation (TMF) has announced its next competitive grant cycle for eligible charitable organizations serving communities in Texas and New Mexico. The funder currently states that its 2027 application window will open April 15, 2027 and close May 31, 2027; the application is not open as of November 1, 2026. A deadline hour and time zone are not published in the official announcement.

Purpose and Eligibility

Eligible applicants must have current IRS 501(c)(3) status, serve communities in Texas or New Mexico consistent with funder geographic rules, and propose programs aligned with faith-based social impact or community services improving living conditions for people experiencing poverty. The foundation evaluates program effectiveness, sustainability, collaboration, staffing, governance, and sound financial management. One grant application per organization is permitted per cycle.

Funding and Restrictions

TMF states that individual grant amounts vary by request and annual funding availability. A fixed individual award maximum, minimum, overall 2027 allocation, and specific matching percentage are not published. Grant support is generally not available for individuals, capital expenditures, endowments, annual campaigns, debt retirement, research, lobbying, or programs serving neither Texas nor New Mexico.

Application and Timeline

Applications will use the official TMF Grants Platform. A funder information session is planned for April 2027; site visits for August-September 2027, decisions in November 2027, grant distributions in December 2027, and a reporting period of January through December 2028. The official page refers to letters of inquiry and invitations but does not fully reconcile those stages with the newly posted direct 2027 application window; applicants should review current portal instructions once available.
