Nature & Animals Grant Program

Nature & Animals Grant Program is sponsored by Albert & Bessie Mae Kronkosky Charitable Foundation. Funds organizations focused on nature and animal welfare in Bexar, Comal, Kendall, and Kerr counties in Texas.

We invite you to explore our 2025 Annual Report . We believe that profound good has many overlapping foundations: innovation, creativity, compassion, and stability. We fund nonprofit agencies in Bandera, Bexar, Comal, and Kendall counties that create profound good in two ways: caring for vulnerable populations and cultivating vibrant communities.

Cultivating Vibrant Communities We invest in organizations that promote artistic, cultural, and natural resources including the performing arts, museums, libraries, parks, zoos, and land preservation. Caring for Vulnerable Populations We support organizations that provide essential resources to individuals and communities facing hardships and offer them opportunities to thrive.

Within these funding areas, we have targeted program categories: Kronkosky funds efforts that ensure dignity for seniors by providing for basic needs, care, and opportunities to remain healthy and active. (We fund food security programs only if they target seniors) .
