Dallas Foundation Funder Map 2026
TLDR
The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has a deep foundation community concentrated around a handful of family and corporate funders. This map pulls 990-PF distributions across the region's largest grantmakers so your prospect list matches actual giving.
Why This Map Exists
The DFW metroplex hosts roughly 27,000 registered nonprofits and a foundation community shaped by family wealth, corporate philanthropy, and a small number of large community foundations. The largest 25 funders shape most regional giving, and their priority areas overlap considerably — which makes precision targeting more important, not less.
This map shows what each foundation has actually funded over the last three years, paired with stated priorities, so LOI capacity goes where it has a real chance of converting.
