More than $1.27M awarded through grant cycles in fiscal year 2026

The Community Foundation of Abilene and our donors awarded more than $1.27M through our community grant cycles during our 2026 fiscal year (July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026). We hold two community grant cycles each year — one in the spring and one in the fall.

Since the Foundation opened in 1985, donors have given unrestricted gifts and established field-of-interest funds to support local needs through the competitive grant cycles.

Additional contributions to grant cycles are made by donor-advised fundholders and from the community.

These grant opportunities are open to nonprofit organizations serving the Abilene community. The awarded nonprofits represent these categories:

• Arts and Culture: 6%
• Children and Youth: 18%
• Community Development: 12%
• Education: 4%
• Health: 20%
• Human Services: 40%
