Embrey Family Foundation

The Embrey Family Foundation, based in Dallas, Texas, was established in 2004 by J. Lindsay Embrey (1925-2005). It continues a family tradition of philanthropy and community-building begun by Lindsay Embrey’s great-grandfather, Judge J.M. Lindsay, in Gainesville, Texas. We strongly believe in building healthy, vibrant communities for all people.We do this by investing in programs and initiatives that enrich and empower individuals, families and societies, and that educate and bring greater awareness to the human condition. We strive to enhance the work that provides systemic solutions and upward movement for our fellow citizens.

Toward that end, the Embrey Family Foundation makes community grants in the following areas:

• Human rights
• Education
• Human services
• Arts and culture
