- Within 1-2 weeks of submitting a project, the project will be scored and we will work with you to create a 1-2 page project proposal.
- The proposal will be added to the TxWAC portfolio and map. These are shared widely with all TxWAC stakeholders throughout the year. Projects may also be featured at TxWAC bi-monthly meetings, in TxWAC quarterly newsletters, and/or in the TxWAC LinkedIn Group.
- IF your project aligns with current participating funders’, it will be included in custom project matching proposals.
- IF funders are interested in learning more and/or supporting your project, Texan by Nature will reach out to you for questions, set up a meeting, and/or make an email introduction per the funder’s preferences.
Projects funded as a result of TxWAC project matching services will include a 5-15% transaction/service fee (added to project total & paid for by funder) depending on services provided by Texan by Nature. This will be discussed with all project/funder parties.
For projects already submitted to TxWAC, please contact programs@texanbynature.org to make updates/edits.

For-profit Project Instructions
Projects submitted to TxWAC by for-profit companies are evaluated for inclusion in a TxWAC for-profit project portfolio (separate from our NGO project portfolio) on a case-by-case basis. Upon review, if a project is approved for inclusion, the following criteria must be met / agreed upon:
- $2,500 fee paid annually for each year the project is included in the portfolio. This fee covers TxN’s time to create the project overview and to feature the project. If this fee is not paid, the project will be removed from the for-profit portfolio.
- NGO fiscal sponsor/partner identified with any fiscal fees being covered by submitting or funding companies. If the company submitting the project does not have an NGO fiscal sponsor/partner, Texan by Nature can serve this role at a 10% rate.
- Review and update of project overview 1x per year or the project will be removed from the for-profit project portfolio.
If these criteria are met, the project will be included in custom project proposals (3x per year) for funding companies IF there is alignment between the companies goals/geography/KPIs and the project. Submitting a project to TxWAC does not guarantee funding.
