Organizations can partner in various ways, such as:

• Receive funding through grants.

• Serve as volunteer sites.

• Speak to students.

• Provide fact sheets that SIP students use for case studies, research projects, grant selection and more.

Agency partnering requirements:

• Designated as a 501(c)(3) entity by the IRS.
• Preapproved by completing the Agency Fact Sheet.
• Based in Midland or Ector counties, with local board members, and funds spent locally.
• Align with Abell-Hanger Foundation’s Scope of Giving.
• Funds received must go directly to the organization and not passed through to another organization.
• SIP programs give to specific programs and for operational costs. SIP does not provide funds for capital campaigns or unrestricted asks. 

Grant forms to submit financials and board information for grant review open in July each year. All agencies with an approved Agency Fact Sheet will receive an email with the link.

To join as a partner, please complete the agency fact form.
