In spite of a challenging economy, the Foundation invested over $8 million through scholarships to students and grants to nonprofits in our local communities.<\/p>\n<p>Grants were awarded through donor recommendations, allocations from designated and undesignated funds, and the Foundation\u2019s semi-annual competitive grants process. Sixty-eight nonprofits, representing diverse programs and services, received $2,187,495 in competitive grants funding. Areas of service to those funded include: Education and youth, health and human services, culture and the arts, and housing and community development.<\/p>\n<p>Twice annually, the Foundation accepts applications from area nonprofits for a broad variety of funding requests. The process is a labor of love with outcomes that are measured by improvements to the quality of life for residents throughout West Texas. The grants committee begins by reviewing pre-applications from each organization. Those selected are invited to submit full applications. Following more thorough and very deliberate review, grant awards are assigned based on a variety of factors. Grantees are announced at a news conference held several months after the process begins.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about grants, please contact Kenda Prather, grants administrator, at 432.617.3213.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Salvation-Army-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Salvation-Army-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"20120502_gc_516\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Midland-Habitat-1a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Midland-Habitat-1a-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"midland-habitat-1a\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Mission-Center-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Mission-Center-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"mission-center-1\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WCGW-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/WCGW-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"wcgw-2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Keep-Midland-Beautiful-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Keep-Midland-Beautiful-5-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"keep-midland-beautiful-5\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Texas-Lions-Camp-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbaf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Texas-Lions-Camp-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"texas-lions-camp-2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2016, Permian Basin Area Foundation enriched the lives of countless West Texans thanks to the generosity of its donors.
