The Hogg Foundation is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025 Robert Lee Sutherland Mini-Grants. Recipients were chosen from among attendees of the 2025 Robert Lee Sutherland Seminar who are not currently receiving Hogg Foundation funding. The mini-grants are designed to support small-scale, high-impact efforts that advance mental health, resilience, and well-being in everyday settings.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate these remarkable organizations from all across Texas,” says Vicky Coffee, director of foundation initiatives. “Although these grants are small in size, they’re powerful in purpose, supporting community-rooted efforts to foster well-being across Texas.”
Twenty-one Texas-based organizations were awarded $2500 each to assist with community-led, research-informed, or capacity-building projects that align with the foundation’s strategic priorities of Community-Driven Mental Health and Resilience; Research, Education, and Innovation; Policy Engagement; and Strategic Partnerships.
“Our founder, Miss Ima Hogg, championed support for mental health and well-being in everyday environments like schools, workplaces, places of worship, and homes,” says executive director Dr. Octavio N. Martinez, Jr. “These grants are just one of the many ways we remain committed to her vision to support community-level change.”
