Supporting Neighbors: Foundation Grants Reach Denton and Collin Nonprofits

Helping an older neighbor remain safely at home.

Supporting a single parent working toward stability.

Making counseling available when someone needs it.

These are among the everyday needs addressed by three nonprofits in Denton and Collin counties recognized in Texas Women’s Foundation’s 2026 Community Grant Cycle.

Cumberland Youth and Family Services, Hearts for Homes, and The Turning Point are among 25 recipients sharing $900,000 in regional funding.

Support close to home

In Denton, Cumberland provides housing, counseling, and supportive services for children, young adults, and families.

Its programs include support for young people transitioning out of foster care and residential services for single-parent families working toward greater self-sufficiency.

Hearts for Homes addresses another practical need: helping older neighbors remain safely in their homes.

The organization provides no-cost home repairs for very low-income homeowners ages 60 and older in the Denton County area, along with ongoing case management.

In Collin County, Plano-based The Turning Point provides counseling, education, and advocacy for people impacted by sexual violence.

These descriptions reflect the organizations’ ongoing work; the announcement does not identify the individual grant amounts or specific funded projects for these three recipients.

A regional investment with local relevance

The recipients were recognized at a September 25 reception, according to the foundation’s media release.

The $900,000 total covers all 25 recipients across the region, rather than only the three highlighted here.

For our communities, this is an opportunity to learn more about organizations addressing housing stability, safety, and support across the counties we call home.

Readers can explore each organization’s services and current ways to volunteer or give through its official website.
