What we're researching, what we're drafting, what we've submitted, and what's landed. Updated as it moves. Funders see what's in the room; future funders see the operating discipline behind it.
Noon Systems Corporation began grant-pursuit operations in Q2 2026. Stage definitions: Researching — aligned and being evaluated; Drafting — active proposal in development; Submitted — application filed, awaiting decision; Awarded — funded and in execution.
Three-property residential LID retrofit package — replacing turf with native palette, installing dry-creek bioswales, integrating roof catchment to cistern. Each install documented as a transferable methodology entry in The Noon Source library.
Why this one first: SAWS is a local agency, the program is open continuously, the project type is exactly what we install, and a successful demonstration becomes a Noon-as-contractor referral channel for future SAWS rebate participants.
Application to PPF for fiscal sponsorship of Noon's educational and indigenous-knowledge-documentation work — The Noon Source library, community workshops, school-partnership programs. PPF wraps the work under their 501(c)(3) for ~4–6 weeks while we file Form 1023 directly in parallel.
Why this matters: most TX mission-aligned foundations (Mitchell, Meadows, Brown, Hogg) only fund 501(c)(3)s. PPF unlocks that capital window in weeks instead of the 9–12 months required for a direct 1023 application.
Multi-site bioswale install at the recharge zone perimeter (Stone Oak / Hill Country Village corridor) targeting stormwater volume reduction and nutrient capture before groundwater entry. Administered through TCEQ for Texas-located projects.
High alignment with Noon's documented expertise; significant dollar range. Best pursued as sub-grantee under a watershed-district or municipal prime applicant once SAM.gov registration completes.
Tree-canopy install in heat-island-stressed San Antonio census tracts. Native species palette (live oak, cedar elm, pecan, mesquite where appropriate) sized to deliver measurable summer cooling and pollinator habitat. Inflation Reduction Act funding through 2031.
Funding ample, demand high. Best pursued as sub-grantee under City of San Antonio or San Antonio River Authority prime applicant. Noon contributes installation capacity + documentation methodology.
Native plant install across residential and institutional properties — milkweed (Asclepias asperula, A. tuberosa), frostweed, native asters, mistflower. Each site certified as monarch waystation and documented for the public Texan-by-Nature partnership pipeline.
PBC structure is accepted by TPWD. Smaller dollar range but reachable without 501(c)(3) prerequisite. Builds track record for larger applications.
Cost-share program for agricultural producers in the service area implementing rainwater catchment, soil-health practices, native plantings, riparian restoration. Noon serves as the technical service provider / installer; producer holds the contract.
Doesn't require Noon to be the grant recipient — Noon is the contractor. Builds revenue + installations without grant-application overhead. High-leverage pathway.
Native-install demonstration projects on corporate campuses or community partners-of-record. Scope-3 watershed offsets, Scope-1 outdoor power partnership, employee engagement events around installs. The Source library positions Noon as a documentation partner for ESG reporting.
Corporates often prefer PBC over 501(c)(3) — easier accounting, tax-deductible as marketing/sponsorship. Highest near-term landing probability per the funding-alignment matrix.
No applications currently in review. The first submission is queued for Q3 2026 once SAM.gov registration completes and fiscal sponsorship lands. This block updates the moment a proposal is filed.
No grants currently awarded. Existing project portfolio (Alamo Heights bioswales, Towne Twin Village / SAHA partnership) was self-funded and partnership-co-funded respectively, not grant-funded. The Towne Twin partnership predates Noon's PBC formation in 2020 and was executed through partnership channels rather than competitive grant process.
Public-benefit corporations are required by their structure to operate with documentation a private company isn't. This page is one piece of that.
For funders — you can see what's already in the pipeline, what's not (avoiding duplication), and whether your funding stream is on the list. If it isn't, tell us — we'll evaluate alignment.
For partners — if you're considering co-applying on something here, or have a related proposal you'd like Noon as sub-grantee on, the inquiry form on the main /partners page is the entry point.
For ourselves — transparency forces honest tracking. We can't drift on what's "out there" if every entry is visible to anyone who asks.
