Funding Policies

It is the policy of the Piñon Foundation to identify and support programs, organizations and institutions that promote the education, health and well-being for children and the elderly within the granting areas. Only 501(c)(3) organizations or an equivalent may apply.

Foundation funds may not be used for:

• Items for which third-party reimbursement is available;

• Research on unapproved drug therapies and devices;

• Grants to individuals as opposed to institutions / organizations

• Brick and Mortar payments

Giving Areas

While preference is given to organizations in the Panhandle and Permian Basin of West Texas, the Dallas Fort Worth area and the Oklahoma City metropolitan, we recognize that such organizations located outside of these areas can also have a beneficial impact on the economic, social and cultural growth and development; therefore, we will entertain grant request from other locations.
