Our goal is to make our community a better place to live by partnering with compassionate people. We aim to bring donors’ philanthropic vision to life through building endowments that enrich the quality of life in Abilene and surrounding areas. Since 1985, we have awarded more than $100 million in grants to support charitable causes.
The Windham Fund focuses on advancing rural grantmaking to benefit communities in the greater West-Central Texas region, aiming to support special projects, capacity building, and capital ventures that promise to improve the overall quality of life. It specifically targets initiatives in the areas of Arts and Culture, Community Development and Leadership, Agricultural Education and Ranch Management, Health and Human Services, and overall Quality of Life enhancements. Prospective applicants must engage in a preliminary interview with Foundation staff before submitting their proposals through the Foundant GLM online grants management system.
