Grants are made within the State of Texas, primarily organizations and programs
that serve residents in the Houston metropolitan area. Limited funds are available
for grants outside of this area, and such applications are discouraged.
All applicants must submit a Letter of Inquiry, copy of latest 501(c)(3), operating
budget and email contact information. Please address all correspondence to Ms.
Catherine Kaldis, President. These documents may be submitted electronically to
Paula Hooton at pkhooton@aol.com OR you may submit through the mail. Please
do not do both.
Due to restrictions imposed by the Federal tax laws on private foundations, money
is not lent nor given to individuals.
The Ray C. Fish Foundation Trustees review grants four times each year.
Deadlines are as follows:
* Received by December 31, will be reviewed in February
* Received by February 28, will be reviewed in May
* Received by June 30, will be reviewed in September
* Received by September 30, will be reviewed in December
If asked to submit a full grant proposal, please include the following:
a summary of the program or project for which support is asked, a statement of
the amount of funds requested and the date on which they are needed. No
proposal from an organization previously funded by the Foundation will be
considered unless a one page summary of use of funds of the previous grant has
been submitted.
financial data on the organization such as a budget, sources of income,
breakdown of expenditures by program, administration, and fund raising.
copies of IRS rulings under sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code;
a list of Trustees or Board of Directors and principal staff.
We do not accept proposals over the internet or fax.
The Foundation will acknowledge receipt of your proposal and will request
additional information if necessary. The Foundation will provide notice upon final
disposition. A decision not to fund a proposal does not reflect on the merits of the
applicant or the value of its proposal, but rather results from limited resources.
