  abstract: The study was conducted on private foundations in Texas with founding charters that permitted support of institutions of higher education. The foundations surveyed represented sixty geographically spread throughout the state of Texas. The asset size of these foundations represented a range from $120 million in total assets to those having less than $100,000 in total assets. A survey instrument was developed by first doing a pilot study with nine foundations in the state. Their input was incorporated into the final research instrument that was mailed to 303 Texas foundations. Sixty completed questionnaires were returned representing a response rate of 19.8 per cent.

The average dollar amount of each grant awarded to institutions of public higher education was three times larger than those received in the private sector. 3.
