Houston Grant Deadline Calendar 2026
TLDR
Houston nonprofits managing a mix of city, county, state, federal pass-through, and foundation grants run into the same problem every quarter: deadlines collide. This worksheet gives your team a verified-source calendar structure, collision weeks to plan around, and fields to fill from award letters and funder portals instead of pretending one static PDF can know every 2026 deadline.
Why This Calendar Exists
Most Houston nonprofits maintaining a portfolio of city, county, state, federal pass-through, and foundation funding work from three or four separate calendars at once. The result is predictable: each quarter, two or three deadlines collide, one gets reconstructed from incomplete data, and the report quality drops because the deadline pressure made the team take shortcuts.
A single planning view that captures each funder, report type, source URL, and data source is the simplest structural fix for that pattern. This is the worksheet structure for building that 2026 calendar from source documents.
What’s Inside
- City of Houston grant cycles (Houston Health Department, Department of Neighborhoods, Houston Public Library, Mayor’s Office programs)
- Harris County grants and pass-through funding cycles (Public Health, Community Services, Juvenile Probation)
- Texas state agency cycles (HHSC, TWC, TEA, TJJD) for FY2026
- Federal pass-through windows that flow through Texas (CDBG, CSBG, Title XX, IDEA-B)
- Foundation cycle fields for Houston-area grantmakers your team verifies from current funder pages, award letters, or LOI portals
- Reporting deadlines paired with application deadlines so you can spot the months where reports and applications collide
- A reconciliation column showing which reports share data sources, so you can sequence them
