Remainder of 2025

Due to a significant rise in funding requests, the foundation has transitioned to an invitation-only process for the remainder of 2025. This change allows us to provide more dedicated support and resources to selected organizations while maintaining the highest level of impact. As a result, we will no longer be accepting Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) for the remainder of the year.


Motivated by the desire to enhance the quality of life for those in Hays County and Central Texas, the Burdine Johnson Foundation awards grants to local charitable organizations involving the arts, education, health and human services, the environment and historic preservation.
