The Meadows Foundation
The Meadows Foundation is a private family foundation on a mission to improve the quality and circumstances of life for the people of Texas now and in the future. Over the last 74 years, we have given more than $1.29 billion to support Texans through arts, civic and public affairs, education, health, and human services. We also foster our mission by providing collaborative, rent-free office space in the Wilson Historic District to nonprofits serving Texas. The District is a 22-acre campus near downtown Dallas with 27 new and restored, historic structures.
