As the U.S. commitment to Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom continues, the toll on military personnel and their families continues to grow. Texas military bases and personnel play an increasingly large role in the conflict and the need for support for them and their families grows each day. The Iraq-Afghanistan Deployment Impact Fund at the Los Angeles-based California Community Foundation has awarded grants of $5 million each to three Texas community foundations to support the efforts of nonprofit organizations that provide needed services in Texas to active and former military personnel serving in Iraq and/or Afghanistan and their families.

Texas Resources for Iraq-Afghanistan Deployment (TRIAD) Funds have been established at The Dallas Foundation, the Permian Basin Area Foundation (Midland, TX), and the San Antonio Area Foundation. 

Permian Basin Area Foundation is accepting applications from 501(c)3 agencies providing services in their region.  The Dallas Foundation and San Antonio Area Foundation have now expended all funds and are not accepting additional applications until further notice.
