The McKenna Foundation plans to culminate a fantastic and productive year by awarding two year-end unrestricted grants to nonprofit partners. This year, the Foundation is once again asking the community to participate in the nomination process!

The Foundation is thrilled to invite the public to nominate a nonprofit organization serving Comal County for a chance to receive one of these generous grants. What organization has made a substantial difference in your life or the lives of others? Which nonprofit has been a stellar partner to the community? Who deserves special recognition for going above and beyond? This is your opportunity to shine light on those who have made a lasting impact.

Nominate here.

Please include a few sentences explaining why you believe your chosen organization deserves to be recognized this year.

Nominations will remain open through December 10.   

“For many years, we have asked our nonprofit partners to nominate one of their peers. However, last year we decided to involve the community, and we were overwhelmed by the response, receiving over 3,300 nominations,” said McKenna’s program officer Kristen Fain. “With such a great community response, we are excited to do it again this year and hear from even more voices!”

The recipients will be announced during the Foundation’s annual Christmas Breakfast on December 17 at the McKenna Events Center. The news will be shared on the McKenna website.

This year, the Foundation has already awarded nearly $1.5 million in grants to 39 nonprofit organizations in Comal County. Since the Foundation began its grantmaking efforts in 2009, nearly $30 million in funding has been awarded to nonprofits serving our neighbors.

Join us in celebrating the incredible work being done by our local nonprofits and help choose the year-end grant recipients!
