PROFILE: Established in 1986, the Luella Kemper Trust is a private grantmaking foundation based in Texas. The trust aims to “support and promote quality education and human services programming for underserved populations.” Managed by Bank of America’s Texas office, grantmaking funds education and human services.
Grants for Education and Community Development
The Luella Kemper Trust prefers to broadly support a variety of causes in Texas rather than naming specific grantmaking strategies. Though it has a website, the trust does not provide information regarding grantmaking approaches or deadlines on its website. The trust often provides general operating support.
Grantmaking focuses on Texas and Grayson County. However, grants have supported other Dallas-area nonprofits. Past grantees include the North Texas Food Bank in Dallas, the Grayson County Shelter, Sherman Museum, and Boys and Girls Club of Denison. All of these grants are made only for one-year periods.
Important Grant Details
Grants range from $3,000 to $15,000. This foundation accepts unsolicited grant applications from nonprofits. The annual application deadlines are January 1 and August 1, and the decision time frame is two to three months after each of these dates. Grant seekers must use the Bank of America online system to apply for a grant. Direct general questions to the staff at tx.philanthropic@ustrust.com or 800-357-7094.
