2025 Health Care Grants is sponsored by The Cullen Foundation. Supports hospitals, medical colleges, and rehabilitation organizations in Texas.

How to Apply - The Cullen Foundation The Cullen Foundation makes grants to organizations whose work clearly advances the mission of the Foundation. The Foundation prefers to grant by invitation (please see Invited Applications section below). Self-initiated inquiries that align with the Foundation’s mission are reviewed as well (please see Letter of Intent section below).

The Cullen Foundation has transitioned to a new grant management portal. All users, including current grantees, are required to create a new login to access the system. To assist with this change, please consult our Portal Overview & User Guide for a step-by-step walkthrough of the account setup and user management process.

The Board meets on a rolling basis throughout the calendar year. Specific application deadlines will be communicated if a full application is invited. All invited applicants will be notified by email of the action taken by the Board.

Approved organizations receive a grant agreement for review and signature. Organizations who have not received an invitation to apply but believe their work aligns with the Foundation’s mission may complete the Letter of Intent by clicking here . This allows you to provide information about 1) your organization to ensure that it meets the Foundation’s established criteria and if so, 2) your specific initiative.

If there is a possible synergy with our priorities, you will be contacted for additional information. If there is not alignment at this time, you will be notified via e-mail that your inquiry will not be pursued. Note: This is not an application.

Letter of Intent Additional Notes To protect the integrity of the grantmaking process, The Cullen Foundation requests that applicants and their representatives refrain from contacting Foundation Board Members about pending or anticipated requests. All questions should be directed to The Cullen Foundation staff.

Although the Foundation cannot respond favorably to all requests, the decision to decline a request should not be interpreted as a negative evaluation of a project or organization.

It is not feasible for the Foundation staff to discuss with applicants the reason(s) that the Board may have for declining a request, nor is it reasonable to expect the staff to provide a critique of proposals either before or after action is taken by the Board. The Foundation requests that it receive no commemorative items; all resources should be used for the organization’s philanthropic purposes.
