MISSION

The Joseph Robert Foundation is a small Pennsylvania private foundation whose primary purposes are to provide financial support for the visual arts, animal welfare, and the environment. Our support is exclusively limited to the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.

We are interested in awarding grants to non-profit organizations addressing significant issues of interest to our Board. We are especially interested in supporting smaller, local organizations that have fewer resources and more limited objectives. While in the past we have helped fund some regional or national organizations for specific projects, we are currently restricting new funding to organizations whose budgets are below $300,000. We do not support capital projects except in emergency situations.

We welcome first-time grant seekers and support applications from prior grant recipients. We especially encourage applications from BIPOC communities and organizations that share our interests.
