The Hoblitzelle Foundation, established by Karl and Esther Hoblitzelle in 1942, is dedicated to charitable, scientific, literacy, or educational purposes within the State of Texas. Through its history, the foundation has invested over $252 million in social service, cultural, educational, and medical organizations across Texas, aiming to improve the quality of life within the community.
The Hoblitzelle Foundation Grant program aims to support capital projects of nonprofit organizations in Texas, primarily focusing on the Dallas area but also considering grants outside this region based on historical interests, board member interests, or the potential impact of the project. The foundation prioritizes seven funding categories including Arts & Culture, Civic, Disabled, Education, Environment, Medical, and Social Services. Specific initiatives may include but are not limited to building construction, renovation, equipment acquisition, and technology upgrades that enhance access to and quality of services offered by nonprofit organizations in these categories.
