Wyatt Ranches, on behalf of The Wyatt Ranches Foundation, donated $525,500 in grant funds to several South and West Texas organizations and governmental entities during its second 2021 Board of Directors Meeting.

A $50,000 grant was awarded to the Marfa Live Arts, an organization that provides yearround education programs for Marfa ISD. The school district has a limited budget for arts education, and they rely on outside organizations to augment their programs. Marfa Live Arts board member Melissa Keane told the Foundation that many Marfa students are labeled socioeconomically disadvantaged, so the support they provide to the public schools in Marfa, at no cost, is vital for the students.

Situated in South Texas and West Texas, Wyatt Ranches has six cattle ranching divisions. These ranches are scattered south from Agua Dulce to the Rio Grande River, and west from Marfa to Valentine. The Foundation has made numerous donations to governmental entities and non-profit organizations in rural areas of both South and West Texas, as well as donations for hospitals and teaching universities in the metropolitan areas of Texas.
