Mission Statement

The Robbins Family Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable family foundation. We offer grants to approved 501(c)(3) charitable organizations to support a variety of causes, focusing primarily on projects located in Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming. These are places whose communities have shaped our lives, and we aim to give back. Working locally, we hope to make a difference.

We have many areas of interest. We believe that education has the power to change lives and that the arts are the best way to express our shared humanity. We think all people should have access to quality healthcare and that animals deserve our care too. We know that our communities are strongest when they are inclusive and when the surrounding environment is respected.

Who is Eligible

Applications must come from established 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. We do not provide grants for religious or political groups.

Submitting a Grant

We fund projects that approach a local need with creativity and a sense of purpose. Successful grant applications clearly explain an organization’s goal and how they will achieve that goal with the requested funds. Passion and practicality matter a lot to us. Tell us how you serve your local community and what, exactly, you will do to make it better. We want to help you help others.

Grant applications that we approve typically range from a minimum of $1,000 to a maximum of $50,000.

To submit a grant, please complete the online application by the deadline.
