Applying for a Grant
Grant Procedures
Permian Basin Area Foundation makes grants to qualified nonprofit organizations serving the Permian Basin region through which a broad range of philanthropic purposes are supported in the areas of education, arts and culture, health, social services, community development, and civic affairs. In addition to these broad purposes, certain Midland organizations are eligible for grants from the Midland Housing Trust Fund to address needs for safe, clean and affordable housing.
Grant awards are determined through a competitive application and review process facilitated by Foundation staff and volunteer Grants Committees whose recommendations must be approved by the Foundation’s Board of Governors.
The Foundation awards grants in semi-annual cycles occurring in the spring and fall. Grant recipients are not eligible for reapplication until the fourth cycle following the cycle in which the most recent grant was awarded.
The Foundation has adopted Standard Forms Promulgated by the Funders Roundtable, which are referred to as Standard Forms. These are available on the Foundation’s website.
Pre-Application submittals for grants are due:
- Spring – April 1st
- Fall – October 1st
Finding Harmony
With the vision that every child is free from abuse and lives in a safe and stable environment, Harmony Home in Odessa serves as one of only 320 child advocacy centers in the U.S. At Harmony Home, children hurt by abuse find caring professionals and volunteers devoted to healing these youngsters and supporting families in dealing with causes of abuse. The Foundation supported this valued organization with a program grant in 2007, and administers the Harmony Home Child Advocacy Center Endowment.
