TWA Mission

Texas Women for the Arts (TWA), a program of the Texas Cultural Trust, is a statewide giving circle and membership program whose mission is to awaken and nurture the artist in every Texas child. Established in 2005, this philanthropic force of influential women from across the state has awarded 318 grants totaling more than $4 million, increasing arts access for nearly 3.6 million Texas children.

Every year, Texas Women for the Arts members have the opportunity to nominate and select an arts or arts education organization to receive a TWA grant. This funding aims to provide essential support for the arts and to increase access to the arts for children in Texas. TWA members choose the final grant recipients and announce the grant funds at the TWA Annual Business Meeting each spring.
