Perry and Ruby Stevens Foundation Grant

The Perry & Ruby Stevens Charitable Foundation is a private grant-making organization established in January 2006, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in Texas Hill Country communities. Named after Perry and Ruby Stevens, who were known for their quiet but impactful philanthropic efforts, the foundation continues their legacy by supporting nonprofit initiatives aimed at improving social welfare. The foundation is headquartered in Kerrville, Texas, and remains committed to projects that directly benefit the local community. The foundation provides financial assistance to nonprofit organizations that hold a 501(c)(3) designation and are not classified as private foundations under section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. It exclusively funds entities serving Texas Hill Country, reflecting its strong regional focus and intention to maintain close ties with the communities it supports. Eligible organizations must demonstrate charitable purpose and the capacity to execute programs that align with the foundation’s mission of social good. Applications for funding must adhere to a defined schedule with four distinct deadlines and trustee review periods annually. For the 2025 cycle, application deadlines fall on January 3, March 21, June 27, and September 26. Trustee meetings to review these applications will take place on January 31, April 16, July 25, and October 24, respectively. Prospective applicants must also submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) at least two weeks prior to each respective application deadline, serving as a preliminary step to determine eligibility and project alignment before submitting a full proposal. While no specific award floor or ceiling is disclosed, and the total amount of available program funding is not published, all grants are intended to support nonprofit activities that deliver measurable benefits to Hill Country residents. The foundation does not disclose the number of grants it expects to make or whether any matching funds are required. This information may be obtained by contacting the foundation directly. The foundation provides accessible points of contact for inquiries and further clarification.
