The Annie Lee Robbins Foundation was established to support the citizens of Navarro County, Texas. The foundation honors Annie Lee Robbins, a lifelong resident of Corsicana, Texas, who was passionate about children, animals, and literacy. She was also an active member of the Kinsole Hose, a local women's social club. Her philanthropic vision led to the creation of the foundation, which primarily aims to enhance community well-being in Navarro County. One of the foundation's significant contributions was funding the construction of the Senior Activity Center in Corsicana in 2000, fulfilling her dream of providing a dedicated meeting space for senior citizens.
The foundation provides funding for initiatives related to arts, culture, humanities, education, and human services. It prioritizes funding organizations based in Navarro County, Texas. However, if no qualified 501(c)(3) organizations are available in Navarro County, funding may be extended to eligible nonprofit organizations within the state of Texas. Grants are exclusively available to organizations classified as 501(c)(3) under the IRS code.
Applications for funding must be submitted by March 1. The grant process is managed by the Texas office of Bank of America’s Philanthropic Solutions division.
