Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. and Helen C. Kleberg Foundation

The Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. and Helen C. Kleberg Foundation supports nonprofit organizations throughout the United States.

The Foundation's primary funding interests include:

• medical research, including basic biological and applied research;
   
• arts and humanities, with a focus on supporting the visual arts through funding of exhibitions of the highest caliber at established museums, with the intent to broaden audiences; and,
   
• wildlife, conservation, and animal sciences, with a particular interest in research focusing on maintaining the integrity of ecosystems, including native plant establishment, understanding important stopover habitats of Nearctic-Neotropical migratory birds, and investigations of endangered or sensitive species endemic to the south Texas region.

The Foundation rarely supports capital projects such as the purchase or renovation of facilities, repairs and maintenance of physical infrastructure, or the purchase of major equipment. Capital requests should be preceded by a formal conversation with Foundation staff to determine the project’s fit with the Foundation’s priorities.

The Foundation does not make grants to/for:

• individuals;
• general operating funds;
• endowments;
• deficit financing;
• religious purposes or organizations limited by race or religion;
• propaganda organizations or committees whose efforts are aimed at influencing legislation;
• table sponsorships, fundraising events, or advertising; 
• indirect costs or overhead for projects; or, 
• other granting agencies, foundations, or pass-through organizations.
