For this reason we confine our grants to social service organizations in the Collin County and Dallas, Texas area.

Eligible Projects

Who We Are

Tri-County Electric Cooperative (TCEC) is a member-owned electric cooperative headquartered in Hooker, Oklahoma.

We are a not-for-profit distribution cooperative owned and controlled by our members.

Disbursements annually per organization are limited to $5,000.

Who is the Byrne Family Foundation Trust?

Founded in 2009, the Byrne Family Foundation Trust (BFFT) is dedicated to championing children’s educational growth. We are committed to improving educational opportunities for children through support at school and within the home. Additionally, a portion of our giving is dedicated to the animal welfare in our local communities.

Our board of trustees is composed of two generations of family members who are invested in the responsible stewardship of BFFT’s funds.

What kinds of projects and organizations does BFFT fund?

The BFFT is primarily focused on educational funding, with a blend of early childhood, K-12, leadership/teacher development, and post secondary/higher learning opportunities. We support educational programs because we believe that education is one of the most powerful tools in creating equitable access to opportunity. We fund projects and organizations that provide holistic, quality educational experiences, because they have the power to open doors for children and youth in our communities.

As a family, we also understand the powerful bond between people and their pets. The Foundation allocates a portion of our giving to animal welfare initiatives, which include service animal programs, no-kill animal shelters and spay/neuter services.

The BFFT funds organizations in the cities and regions our trustees call home. As a result, we support projects that serve our communities of Dallas, Texas and Park City, Utah. The Foundation is not considering projects outside of these geographic regions at this time. 

 Fast Track Grant 

The Fast Track grant program was created to respond to urgent community needs. The application is brief, there are no reporting requirements, and all funds will be distributed in the same month that organizations apply. This is a new program for the Byrne Family Foundation Trust starting in 2022; as such, we expect it to change and evolve over time.

Since this is a new program, we’ve prepared a list of commonly asked questions. Please review them in full here before reaching out with an additional inquiry! If you do have a question that you don’t see answered here, we’re happy to discuss over email.

Fast Track grants are a new program for BFFT, and launched for the first time in July 2022. Since this is a new program, we expect it to evolve over time, so the application and the process may change!

You are welcome to apply again if you have not yet received Fast Track funding in this calendar year. Once you’re awarded a Fast Track grant, though, you have to wait until the next calendar year to apply again.

Connected Healthy Lives

Every day, people face a multitude of choices that may affect their health and quality of life. In many communities, these choices are limited by factors beyond a person’s control. That is why we are expanding healthy choices for communities and creating more equitable health outcomes by working to eliminate the social and structural barriers to health.

Mission

Founded in 1943, the McKesson Foundation is a 501(c)(3) corporate foundation dedicated to advancing health outcomes for all. The Foundation’s mission is to remove barriers to quality healthcare across North America, especially for vulnerable and underserved communities.

Strategic Giving Pillars and Areas of Focus

The McKesson Foundation champions health equity by partnering with nonprofit organizations to advance efforts aligned with three strategic giving pillars and corresponding areas of focus:

Reducing the Burden of Cancer

The American Cancer Society estimates 1.9M people will receive a cancer diagnosis in 2022 and two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. These cancer diagnoses often create both a health and financial crisis for patients and their families. Studies show factors including race/ethnicity, health insurance status and income can affect the timing of a patient’s diagnosis and treatment, as well as their survival and financial impact. Working with our partners, we aim to reduce the risk of getting cancer and address socioeconomic barriers to care.

• Prevention
  • provide education and services to encourage people to adopt healthy diets, exercise regularly, avoid tobacco, and protect their skin.
• Screening and Treatment
  • increase awareness of the importance of screenings, early detection and timely treatment among vulnerable populations; provide free health screenings for patients and connect them to care.
• Financial/Logistical Assistance
  • connect uninsured and underinsured patients to programs providing low or no-cost co-pays and social determinants of health (SDOH) interventions, e.g., transportation, childcare, healthy food, home meal delivery; reduce the economic burden of low-income patients with emergency funds for rent, utilities and other household expenses.

Preparing Tomorrow's Healthcare Workforce

Patients report that they feel more heard and are more compliant with medical guidance when they share race/ethnicity with their healthcare practitioner. Nearly a third of the U.S. population is Black or Hispanic, yet the combined Black and Hispanic representation among oncologists is 8 percent and the combined Black, Indigenous and Hispanic representation among pharmacists is 10.7 percent. Closing the gap between diverse representation among the general population and among healthcare practitioners will improve health equity and patient outcomes.

• Oncology Professionals
  • increase underrepresented in medicine (URiM) student recruitment and retention;
  • increase all health professionals’ cultural competency to better serve a diverse patient population.
• Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians 
  • increase URiM recruitment and retention;
  • prepare students for broader pharmacist roles;
  • leverage pharmacists’ extensive training, community presence and public trust to serve vulnerable and rural patient populations.
• Student Engagement
  • increase students’ awareness of STEM careers;
  • support students’ financial literacy;
  • help prepare middle and high school students for higher education.

Accelerating Crisis Response

With the increased frequency and intensity of climate events, more people across North America need temporary or extended shelter, as well as food and medications, during and in the aftermath of crises. And with 10 percent of the population in both Canada and the U.S. living in food insecure households, programs to provide regular, nutritious meals to children, families and seniors can reduce chronic disease and improve long-term health.

• Preparedness
  • support relief agencies’ efforts to prepare for forecasted as well as unforeseen emergencies;
  • support relief agencies’ efforts to help people become Red Cross Ready.
• Disaster Relief and Recovery
  • mobilize resources to provide acute services, such as water, food, shelter, comfort kits, medicines, and healthcare for people affected by natural disasters or crises;
  • help families return to normalcy after a disaster.
• Medicine and Food
  • assist vulnerable individuals and communities by supporting acute and chronic care services that provide medicines and food.

Texas Education Agency

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) is the state agency that oversees primary and secondary public education. It is headed by the commissioner of education. The Texas Education Agency improves outcomes for all public school students in the state by providing leadership, guidance, and support to school systems. TEA helps deliver education to more than 5 million students under the leadership of the commissioner of education. The TEA operational costs are supported by both state and federal funds.

The Texas Education Agency administers federal and state grant awards to its subgrantees to carry out a program. Such entities include primarily school systems (referred to as local educational agencies [LEAs] in statutes), including independent school districts and charter schools; education service centers (ESCs); and, to a lesser degree, institutions of higher education (IHEs), nonprofit organizations (NPOs), and other statutorily allowable organizations.

2025-2026 AWARE Texas Expansion Consortium Grant Program

AWARE Texas Expansion Consortium seeks to achieve intermediate and long term outcomes for Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education (AWARE) through subgrants and collaboration with education service centers (ESCs) and school systems to accomplish the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) purpose, goals and activities that were approved for implementation by the Texas Education Agency in partnership with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Texas Institute for Excellence in Mental Health (TIEMH).

AWARE Texas Expansion Consortium goals and measurable objectives are:

Goal 1: Increase and improve access to relevant and developmentally appropriate school and community-based services for school-aged youth who may have behavioral health concerns, and their families, particularly for students with symptoms of serious emotional disturbance (SED) or serious mental illness (SMI).

Objective 1a: A Community Project Manager (CPM) at each school system: Elgin ISD, San Marcos CISD and Manor ISD, in collaboration with the ESC 13 training coach, will initiate a needs assessment and resource map of school and community partners to develop a Comprehensive Service Plan (CSP) that outlines school mental health approaches to identify needs through the implementation of evidencebased practices (EBPs), training and workforce development and partnership development in the school system, and a multitiered system of support (MTSS) for each targeted AWARE campus. The CSP will be updated each fall, spring, and summer in partnership with families, students, mental health (MH) providers and other school system stakeholders to address assessed needs, gaps, resources, and services.

Objective 1b: The CPM will lead each school system in the development of a coherent referral pathway for rapid access to MH services. Referral procedures will include immediate availability of a licensed Mental Health/Behavioral Health Specialist (MHBHS) respond on-site to urgent needs, provide access to a continuum of community-based treatment and support options for students in a crisis, students with emerging symptoms, and students with serious emotional disturbance (SED) or serious mental illness (SMI). Crisis response will be available in all 39 schools within each school system, and other tiered mental health (MH) services in the MTSS will be on the 9 targeted campuses.

Objective 1c: Students in 100% of AWARE school systems will receive MH screening, referral, assessment, and treatment using evidence-based practices by connecting families with school- and community-based services, providing care coordination to support access to services, information sharing, and monitor progress.

Expected outcomes include: Data tools, including SAMHSA reporting will document MH interventions that are aligned with needs and coordinated through the local MTSS team for mental health and behavior in 9 schools; EBPs are implemented with fidelity following training; rapid response to urgent mental health issues in 39 schools; change in symptom scores from baseline to discharge; improvement in functioning scores; decreased disciplinary referrals and actions; and improved educational outcomes (e.g., attendance, behavior, skill development) for students with mental health needs.

Goal 2: Increase awareness and identification of mental health issues among all adults working with young people and promote positive mental health for students, families, school staff and community.

Objective 2a: The CPM and MHBHS will provide MH awareness/MH promotion activities and training using EBPs to school leaders, faculty, staff, families, and community members on mental health conditions. Trainings will include topics related to identifying and responding to grief, trauma, and MH challenges. School systems will be supported in delivering trainings through coordination with Education Service Center Region 13 (ESC 13) and their Local Mental Health Authorities (LMHA) serving stakeholders in 39 schools within 3 school systems through SY 2026.

Objective 2b: The CPM and ESC 13 will have scaled training and built capacity to implement EBPs within 100% of the school systems served that support students in recognizing warning signs for mental health needs in their peers, responding with empathy, and accessing a trusted adult for further support by September 2026.

Objective 2c: The CPM and MHBHS will outreach and connect with families, youth, and communities to increase engagement and involvement in planning and implementing school and community programs in the MTSS that promote positive mental health in 9 schools and their school communities through SY 2026. Outreach will occur with 300 families in year one and increase five percent each year of the grant.

Expected outcomes include: Data tools will document increased numbers of students, families, educators, and community members trained; training evaluations reporting improved knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs for applying knowledge and skills; youth and families increasingly engaged in  providing input and leadership into service planning; increased MH promotion; increased referrals for services and increased help-seeking behavior.

Goal 3: Help students develop competencies in self-regulation and pro-social behaviors; positive character traits and personal skills; decision making and coping skills to overcome adversity.

Objective 3a: CPMs will train teachers, staff, caregivers, and community members in each school system on positive character traits, personal skills, and resilience EBPs; with implementation support and fidelity monitoring expected for at least 50% of educators in the 9 targeted AWARE campuses served through SY2026.

Objective 3b: Teachers trained will implement EBPs to build student competencies within the social and emotional domain, life skills for high school, and will receive ongoing coaching and support through the CPM, ESC 13 and the State AWARE Team through SY 2026

Objective 3c: CPMs and MHBHS will train and support teachers in evidence-based behavior supports and mental health prevention practices, including the use of grief and trauma-informed practices in classrooms.

Expected Outcomes: Data tools will be used to document increased wellness, resilience, and selfregulation competencies reported by educators, administrators, and families; youth receiving EBP, and interventions report increased competencies on rating scales; decreased discipline referrals and actions; increased family engagement in services; interventions aligned with needs and with the MTSS; and positive school climate is strengthened.

Goal 4: Develop an infrastructure that will sustain services in school systems after the grant and build regional and statewide capacity for promoting MH awareness and EBPs for school-based and schoolconnected MH services.

Objective 4a: The CPM will develop and implement an Infrastructure Development Plan (IDP) to build partnerships with MH providers, businesses, community groups and families that will broaden and link all services available to students and families, coordinate funding streams, make policy and program changes to improve service delivery and develop a plan for sustaining MH services when the grant period ends.

Objective 4b: The State Education Agency (SEA) Project Coordinator and State Mental Health Agency (SMHA) Co-Coordinator, TIEMH and ESC 13 will support the development and implementation of an IDP, and update the plan annually. The state team will build relationships and strengthen collaborations among state partners and other agencies, with goals to connect the AWARE Texas Expansion Consortium with existing resources, make any policy and program changes needed, and communicate project strategies to the ESC 13 AWARE coach, CPM and LMHA to advance grant goals through SY 2026.

Objective 4c: AWARE Texas Expansion Consortium will develop and expand MH planning, implementation, and sustainability tools and resources for posting on the SEA SMH website and disseminating to more than 1200 school systems statewide. Examples of resources include: an updated School Mental Health Toolkit Version 2.0; develop model policies and practices; targeted guidance for small & rural schools; and the development of an annual Mental and Behavioral Health Webinar series.

Funding Availability

The Slave 2 Nothing Foundation is able to fund only a limited number of the total requests we receive. If a particular request meets funding criteria but does not receive support, one should not interpret this as an indication of the Slave 2 Nothing Foundation’s lack of appreciation for the merit and worthiness of either the request or the organization seeking support. We welcome the opportunity to discuss possible future funding by invitation. While there is no guarantee of ongoing support, there is no limitation on how many times an organization can apply. Each request is reviewed on its individual merit, and decisions are not based on prior year submittals. Therefore, an organization can reapply each year.

On occasion, an organization that receives a grant asks to recognize Slave 2 Nothing and/or In-N-Out Burger for such contributions. While we are always honored by the request, we do not encourage or recommend any such recognition. Part of our company’s mission statement is to “assist all communities in our marketplace”, and so we are pleased to support your efforts.
