Mission
The Leland Fikes Foundation, established in 1954 by Leland Fikes, a distinguished figure in oil, gas, and real estate, is a private grantmaking entity based in Dallas, Texas. Historically funding a wide range of initiatives, the Foundation has in recent years focused its efforts on supporting organizations within four key areas: reproductive health, rights, and justice; civic engagement; local human services in the Dallas area; and medical research. Its mission emphasizes the advancement of equity, particularly racial equity, across all its grantmaking priorities.
