Robins Foundation makes innovative grants aimed at promoting a vibrant Richmond community. We encourage collective approaches to solving Richmond’s most challenging issues, and seek to nurture organizations at catalytic moments in their development.
We are a private foundation established by E. Claiborne Robins, Sr. in 1957 and significantly funded in 1995. The Foundation supports a wide range of causes in the Richmond metropolitan area, with a strong interest in helping vulnerable Richmond-area children succeed in life.
