Funder radar — set your status on each door
Comcast (Project UP)
Relationship-routed
No public application exists — Comcast Texas directs its annual Texas digital-equity commitment to partner organizations. Civic Heart is already a Comcast partner, which puts you inside the room most organizations can't enter. Recommended focus: the renewal conversation.

Greater Houston Community Foundation
Donor-directed
GHCF grants flow at the direction of its donors rather than through applications. The working path is their Nonprofit Services team and presence at Center for Philanthropy convenings — cultivation, not paperwork.

Houston Endowment
Invitation-based
Applications are by invitation. The first step for a new relationship is a direct program-officer inquiry; the capacity-building framing of your AI-skills program is the strongest opener.

TWC Skills Development Fund
Formal process
Up to $500K, but the award must be held by a college partner — this becomes live once the Houston Community College relationship is revived.

Workforce Solutions Gulf Coast
Contracted provider
A provider contract here is recurring revenue rather than a one-time grant — a longer runway conversation worth opening in parallel.

Wells Fargo
Existing funder
Already supports Civic Heart. Public filings show their overall giving trending down, so this is a maintain-and-cultivate relationship rather than the lead ask.
