The Hogg Foundation for Mental Health welcomes back the Texas Grants Resource Center (TGRC), formerly known as the Regional Foundation Library, at the University of Texas at Austin. A uniquely valuable resource, the TGRC serves as a bridge between the grant-seeking and the grant-making communities, providing information, training, and technical assistance for nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, individuals, and other philanthropic entities throughout the state.
Established in 1962, the TGRC was founded by Dr. Robert L. Sutherland, the first president of the Hogg Foundation. After relocating to a separate university administrative division in 2007, the TGRC has returned to the foundation. It currently serves over 900 community members and students each year.
“The TGRC provides free trainings on grantsmanship, including how to search for grants, writing effective grant proposals, creating project budgets, telling your nonprofit story, learning about government grants, how to measure impact, and introduction to fundraising planning,” says Amy Loar, assistant director at TGRC. “We also provide free access to the Candid Foundation Directory database, a clearinghouse of information on foundation giving and nonprofit financial information.”
Additionally, TGRC staff build relationships with other foundations, nonprofits, and governmental agencies through presentations at state conferences, student convenings, and representation on board and planning committees.
“We’re extremely pleased to welcome the TGRC back to the Hogg family,” says Dr. Octavio N. Martinez, Jr., executive director of the Hogg Foundation. “The resources and information they make accessible to community-based nonprofit organizations are a wonderful complement to the foundation’s mission to promote mental health in Texas by supporting community-led initiatives.”
The Texas Grants Resource Center is located at 3001 Lake Austin Boulevard. See website for office hours. Individual appointments may be scheduled online.
