ROBINS FOUNDATION

WHAT WE FUND

Early Childhood Education

For children to have the opportunity to thrive, they require access to high-quality early care and educational experiences. We support the parents, providers and infrastructure that make that possible.

Robins Foundation envisions a vibrant and unified Richmond, in which our children are prepared for bright futures, our communities are culturally enriched, and our region grows as a positive and dynamic place to live.

Our founders, Lora M. and E. Claiborne Robins, were passionate about the power of education and community building to transform lives. In this, our 65th year, we honor that legacy through our focus on early childhood education and dynamic community.
