To help broaden financial support for similar environmental efforts, she helped organize two foundations, both of which focused their grantmaking on environmental work in Texas, protecting habitat and wildlife, as well as guarding public health.  To create more of a linkage with other grantmakers with similar interests, she was an early supporter of the Texas Environmental Grantmakers Group.

She has also been interested in promoting the possibilities of improved land management in the land and cattle business that she directs, by investing in organic and grassfed beef production, crossfencing, supplemental water, intensive grazing, native prairie planting, cowbird control, hunting cooperative participation, and vegetation and wildlife monitoring.
