Texas Mutual Insurance Company has distributed more than $9 million in grants to 124 nonprofit organizations across Texas in 2025. The funding was provided through two separate Request for Proposal initiatives, with the aim of supporting community development and workforce safety.

Applications for both grant cycles were evaluated by Texas Mutual employee volunteers, who sought proposals that aligned with the company’s mission to strengthen communities throughout Texas. The company’s community affairs team also played a role in ensuring funds reached various regions of the state.

The first grant cycle focused on generational learning, awarding over $4.5 million to 66 organizations. This initiative supported projects that improve health and wellness for employees and their families, enhance early childhood education systems, and provide comprehensive support services for families.

Among the recipients are eight Austin-based nonprofits: Andy Roddick Foundation, Any Baby Can, AVANCE-Austin, CASA of Travis County, Communities in Schools of Central Texas, EGBI, half Helen, and Saint Louise House.

The second grant cycle targeted workforce development and safety training. Funding was directed toward organizations providing training in safe work practices—especially in higher-risk industries—and those developing pathways to middle-skill jobs or offering upskilling opportunities through earn-and-learn programs.

Seven Austin nonprofits received grants under this initiative: The Arc of the Capital Area, Austin Ed Fund, Easterseals Lonestar, Good Work Austin, Goodwill Central Texas, Literacy Coalition of Central Texas, and Skillpoint Alliance.

“We’re honored to be partnering with inspiring nonprofits in Austin and throughout the state to create a brighter future in the communities we call home,” said a statement from Texas Mutual Insurance Company.
