Texas Mutual commits to investing $8M in nonprofits this year
At Texas Mutual, we believe that a stronger workforce means a stronger Texas. That's why we're proud to be committing $8 million in funding to Texas nonprofits through two community grants this year.
Working Texans Economic Opportunity Grant — now open
The first grant cycle focuses on stabilizing working households so Texans can obtain and sustain employment and participate in economic opportunities. Priority funding areas include:
- Expanding access to quality early childhood education (ages 0-5) or out-of-school time care for children so that parents can obtain and retain stable employment
- Ensuring working Texans are physically healthy through increased access to primary care
- Facilitating access to essential basic needs so that working Texans can obtain or retain stable employment, building a foundation for long-term economic mobility
Applications will be accepted between 8 a.m. CT on Monday, April 13 and 11:59 p.m. CT on Friday, May 15. Don't miss the informational webinar on April 22 at 11 a.m. CT, where our community affairs team will be available to answer your questions. You can also review our 2026 Working Texans Economic Opportunity Grant Guide for more information.
Eligibility: Grant awards range from $25,000 to $100,000, with amounts determined by project needs and organization size. To qualify, your organization must hold 501(c)(3) designation and be actively delivering services to Texas communities.
Texas Workforce Development Grant — opens August 10
The second grant cycle focuses on strengthening the state’s workforce and economy by equipping working Texans and Texas businesses with skills and opportunities that drive growth and shared prosperity. Priority funding areas include:
- Preparing Texans for high-growth, high-wage middle-skill jobs through completion of apprenticeships or postsecondary credentials of value
- Supporting initiatives that promote small business resilience and the facilitation of new job growth
- Connecting opportunity youth to supportive career pathways as a means of expanding the available labor force
