Dallas-area nonprofits can now apply to be considered for a grant from the annual Chi Omega Christmas Market, which was started by the Dallas-area alumnae in 1978 to live out its mission to serve others. In its 46-year history, COCM has donated more than $10.4 million to support more than 146 different worthy Dallas-area nonprofits that serve our community in the categories of arts, civic, education, and health and welfare.

“Each year Chi Omega Christmas Market supports a diverse array of nonprofit organizations that represent some of the most critical needs in the Dallas community, as well as collegiate scholarships,” said Emily Thorsen Blair, 2024- 2025 Beneficiary Chairperson. “We are so grateful to our community, shoppers, patrons and sponsors who support the Market and allow us to donate essential funds each year to these deserving beneficiaries.”

Chi Omega Christmas Market will only consider applications from nonprofit organizations that address specific needs in our community in areas including the Arts, Civic, Education, Health, and Welfare. To be considered for Chi Omega Christmas Market grant funding, organizations MUST

  • Have a minimum request of $50,000 

  • Be tax-exempt for a minimum of three (3) years under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. 

  • The services or project for which funding is sought must be performed or located in Dallas County, Texas.  If an organization’s services benefit areas outside of Dallas County, Dallas County recipients of such services must represent more than 75 percent of the total.  The seat of the organization must be located in the Dallas metroplex.

  • Organizations who have received funds from COCM 2022, 2023 or 2024 are not eligible to apply. We invite applications for Chi Omega Christmas funding three years after receiving funds.
