Any major capital campaign seeking to raise $1 million or more must raise approximately one-half of the needed funds prior to application to the foundation. All requests from universities or colleges should be approved by the development office of the university or college and submitted to the offices under a cover letter from the development office. The Foundation does not make loans or grants to individuals. The Foundation generally limits its giving to primarily educational and medical grants that provide benefits to the citizens of Odessa, Texas, and the surrounding Permian Basin area. Applicants must seek funding for the same proposal from various sources, as sole support of programs is rarely undertaken. Due to the number and magnitude of requests received each year, the Foundation cannot respond favorably to all requests.
