About the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation
The Arlington Tomorrow Foundation was incorporated by the State of Texas in 2007 to oversee an endowment fund created from natural gas revenue realized on city-owned property. Ninety percent of gas well lease bonus earnings and 50 percent of all royalties earned from the wells go into a permanent endowment fund. The interest earnings from this fund are distributed through community grants.

To date, the Arlington Tomorrow Foundation has awarded $1,091,495 to support Arlington area programs that benefit the community. Learn more about the foundation at www.ArlingtonFoundation.org.
