Background

  • OUAT's strategic and funding priorities are informed by the Funder's life experiences and circumstances and have evolved and will continue to further evolve over time. Consistent focus areas have included health and medicine, philanthropy education, and community support. Some of our most significant active initiatives include: One of the OUATs largest and most public initiatives is to support the creation of experiential classes on Philanthropy at leading universities around the country including Stanford, Harvard, University of Texas, Notre Dame, etc. Each class is awarded up to $110,000 for the students themselves to give away to 501c(3)s as they see fit. Since our first Philanthropy Lab class in 2011, over 4,100 students from 160 classes have directed grants totaling $12.3 million through this program. If you are interested, more information about this initiative is available at our website at


  • OUAT's EDMH Research platform funded three research grants of one million dollars each at the University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins University, and McLean/Harvard to study the use of patients electronic communications in psychiatric evaluation and treatment.


  • OUAT works to help families of children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) by educating parents and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) about evidence-based treatment practices, funding multiple research grants aimed at identifying and evaluating best therapeutic practices, and funding training workshops across the nation for SLPs.


  • In 2022, OUAT launched the Raynor Cerebellum Project (RCP) with the goal of finding the shortest path to improving the lives of people suffering from cerebellar disorders. Through collaborative and innovative research and purposeful gatherings, RCP will be known as the greatest collaboration of minds and resources solving the issues of cerebellar dysfunction and disorders.


  • OUAT has had a particularly strong and enduring partnership with UT Southwestern Medical Center ("UTSW"). In 2016, OUAT provided a $5 million gift towards the establishment of the Once Upon a Time Foundation Human Genomics Center aimed at advancing the power of genomics and delivering personalized therapies for cancer patients. OUAT also funded $10 million dollars in research grants at UTSW to fund cutting edge research in areas ranging from studying how disease-causing bacteria manipulate host cells for their own benefit and survival, to studying how cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate stem and cancer cell function in the nervous and hematopoietic systems, to understanding and managing the mysteries involved in multiple sclerosis. In 2022, OUAT committed $14 million commitment to launch the Raynor Cerebellum Lab and support other related initiatives at UTSW.


  • While smaller in terms of funding amount, OUAT also has a number of programs partnering with local area schools and other non-profits. These include a Mavericks ticket program that awards exclusive courtside seats to deserving students from local area high schools in lower socioeconomic areas who have persevered to overcome difficult circumstances, an in-kind donations program that places items like furniture, toys, clothing and Halloween costumes at non-profits with a demonstrated need, and a grant writing program in which we help small 501(c)(3)s with limited or no Development staff prepare and submit grant applications.
