R. Howard Dobbs, Jr. Foundation

New grantseekers should contact the Foundation by phone or email Rachel Sprecher (rsprecher@rhdobbs.net) to set up a time to meet before submitting a Letter of Inquiry (LOI). During this initial conversation, we will evaluate the potential fit of your request with the Foundation’s programmatic priorities. For more information about these priorities, see the What We Do page. Also, for an understanding of how our Board translates priorities into funding decisions, review our Grant History.

The Foundation also offers monthly general information sessions for anyone interested in learning more about the Foundation. During an hour-long Zoom, Dobbs Foundation staff will be available to connect, answer questions, and talk about the grant-seeking/grant-making process. Information sessions are offered the second Wednesday of each month from 2:30pm-3:30pm. Registration is required to participate.  If interested, please register here and a calendar invitation with a Zoom link will be emailed to you. If you have questions, please contact Rachel Sprecher, Relationships Manager, at rsprecher@rhdobbs.net
