The foundation is located in Ector, and seeks to promote and financially support charitable organizations through grants and donations, with a special focus on educational opportunities, children’s health issues, and Christian ministries.

Activities of the foundation include semi-annual scholarship grants to students pursuing higher education, with at least 80% of the scholarships designated for Fannin County residents.  The foundation also bestows charitable grants to various organizations not only within Fannin and Grayson counties but also nationwide.
