Grants were made to the following organizations:<\/p>\nAddy&#8217;s Hope<br \/>\nBallroom Marfa<br \/>\nCommunities in Schools Permian Basin<br \/>\nEducation Partnership of the<br \/>\nPermian Basin<br \/>\nGirl Scouts of the Desert Southwest<br \/>\nHillcrest School<br \/>\nHumanities Texas<br \/>\nJunior Achievement of Permian Basin<br \/>\nMarathon Public Library<br \/>\nMarfa Live Arts<br \/>\nMartin County Convent<br \/>\nMedical Center Health Systems Foundation<br \/>\nMidland Charter Academy School PTO<br \/>\nMidland Young Life<br \/>\nMuseum of the Southwest<br \/>\nNew Horizons Ranch and Center, Inc.<br \/>\nNonprofit Management Center<br \/>\nPermiaCare<br \/>\nPink the Basin<br \/>\nPrevent Blindness Texas<br \/>\nRecording Library of West Texas<br \/>\nRope for Youth (Rope Youth)<br \/>\nSamaritan Counseling Center<br \/>\nof West Texas<br \/>\nSenior Life Midland<br \/>\nSouth Plains Rural Health Services<br \/>\nTerrell County ISD<br \/>\nTexas Water Trade<br \/>\nThe Cody Stephens Foundation<br \/>\nWest Texas Food Bank\n<p>As a part of those competitive grant awards, the Foundation awarded $329,000 to 11 organizations from the Dollie Ruth Neal Education Fund.
