The J.W. Couch Foundation is proud to share the remarkable achievements and milestones that underscore our commitment to making a difference. This year, we have continued to support a diverse range of nonprofit organizations, providing essential resources to further their missions and amplify their impact.


In 2023, the J.W. Couch Foundation donated $2,055,000 to over 30 nonprofit organizations. These funds have been instrumental in driving positive change across various sectors, from education and healthcare to environmental conservation and social services.


Over the past seven years, the J.W. Couch Foundation has distributed over $11 million in support of grants, program-related investments, and direct charitable activities. Our contributions have enabled numerous organizations to sustain and expand operations, launch new initiatives, and respond to emergencies.


The J.W. Couch Foundation is committed to addressing the varied needs of nonprofit organizations. This year, we have supported a range of grant types, including:

  • Overhead Needs: Ensuring organizations have the resources to cover essential operational costs.
  • Seed Money: Providing initial funding to launch new projects and initiatives.
  • Research: Supporting studies and investigations that advance knowledge and solutions.
  • Emergencies: Offering immediate assistance in times of crisis.
  • Matching: Encouraging additional donations by matching funds raised by organizations.
  • Capacity Building: Helping organizations strengthen their infrastructure and capabilities.


Beyond financial support, the J.W. Couch Foundation has been a vocal advocate for the nonprofit sector. Our website, which now attracts over 15,000 visitors annually, is a valuable resource for industry insights and advocacy. This growing audience reflects the increasing relevance and influence of our work.


The J.W. Couch Foundation remains dedicated to empowering nonprofit organizations and driving meaningful change as we move forward. We are grateful for the support of our donors, partners, and community, and we look forward to continuing our mission to create a better world.
