Here is today’s featured foundation.

The Rees-Jones Foundation

Website: https://www.rees-jonesfoundation.org/

Mission & Purpose: To serve the people of North Texas by investing in organizations that serve children, youth, and families. The foundation is motivated by Christian values and seeks to offer relief to those suffering from physical or spiritual want.

Broad Funding Guidelines: Grantmaking is focused on North Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth). They are a major funder with significant assets, focusing on Child Welfare, Youth Development, Mental Health, and Animal Welfare. They have a rigorous grant proposal process and prefer to fund organizations that can demonstrate measurable outcomes. They provide both capital support and program grants.

Featured Opportunity: Their focus on "Animal Welfare" is significant. Unlike many large foundations that focus only on humans, Rees-Jones provides substantial funding to animal shelters, spay/neuter clinics, and therapeutic riding programs in the Dallas area.

Recommendation: A large, established animal shelter or a youth foster care organization in Dallas that is planning a capital campaign to build a new facility or expand its capacity.
