The Joseph Robert Foundation is a Pennsylvania-based private foundation with a mission to support the arts, animal welfare, and the environment, primarily in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. The foundation seeks to fund non-profit organizations that tackle significant issues aligning with the board’s interests. It emphasizes support for local organizations with fewer resources and limited objectives but also considers funding for specific programs or projects of regional or national organizations. The foundation offers both general operating and project/program support, welcoming first-time grant seekers and prior recipients alike.
The grant program from the Joseph Robert Foundation has broad goals supporting the arts, animal welfare, and environmental protection. In the arts, it encourages projects that emphasize the transformative power of arts on individuals and communities, supporting all forms of creative expression but with a primary focus on the visual arts. For animal welfare, it aims to assist in rescuing, protecting, rehabilitating, and providing homes for animals, with a special interest in underserved communities and education for wildlife rehabilitators. In terms of environmental protection, the foundation backs smaller, local organizations working on education and sustainability projects to protect natural resources, with potential support for larger entities that defend the environment from various threats. The grant period is typically one year, with awards mostly under $10,000, though first-time grants are capped at $5,000 unless exceptional circumstances apply. Larger organizations are restricted to program/project funding, while individuals can only apply for project funds.
