Texarkana Area Community Foundation

The Texarkana affiliate of Arkansas Community Foundation was one of the first affiliate offices organized in 1986. It is unique as it serves nonprofit organizations in Texas and Arkansas. Bowie County, Texas is served as well as Miller, Little River, Hempstead, Howard and Sevier Counties in Arkansas.  

November is the high point of the year for our Texarkana Area affiliate because we host our annual grant presentation.  We average $80,000 in grants every year to a variety of nonprofits serving the Texarkana area.  It is our pleasure to partner with these organizations in serving our area.

Texarkana Area Community Foundation is pleased to administer grants to a variety of nonprofits ranging from back-pack food programs to emergency equipment for underwater diving and recovery teams. Board members from Arkansas and Texas cooperate to meet the diverse needs of a unique and growing bistate area.
