Annie Lee Robbins Charitable Foundation Grant

The Annie Lee Robbins Charitable Foundation was created to honor the philanthropic vision of Annie Lee Robbins, a lifelong resident of Corsicana, Texas. A woman known for her compassion and community involvement, Robbins established the foundation with the intention of improving the lives of Navarro County residents. Her legacy includes the establishment of the Senior Activity Center in Corsicana in 2000, fulfilling her vision of creating a dedicated meeting place for older adults. The foundation’s giving continues to reflect her core values—support for the elderly, children, animals, and the broader Navarro County community. Administered by Bank of America Private Bank through its Philanthropic Solutions office, the Annie Lee Robbins Foundation accepts proposals from qualifying nonprofit organizations. The foundation prioritizes grantmaking to 501(c)(3) organizations located in or primarily serving Navarro County, Texas. If there are no suitable applicants from that area, the foundation may consider applications from qualified nonprofits elsewhere in Texas. The foundation is particularly interested in proposals that address community needs in the areas of arts, culture, humanities, education, and human services. Funding requests are only accepted through the Bank of America online application portal. Applicants must select the Annie Lee Robbins Foundation from the list of available foundations on the site, and ensure their mission aligns with the foundation’s geographic and programmatic focus. A comprehensive online submission is required, and incomplete applications will not be reviewed. Email or physical submissions are not accepted. Organizations should refer to the website to confirm eligibility, especially regarding their operating budget, which must be under $20 million annually. The deadline for proposal submission is March 1, and applications must be submitted online by 11:59 p.m. CT on that date. There are no extensions granted for weekends or holidays. Applicants should begin the process well in advance of the deadline, as technical support is only available Monday through Friday during business hours. Funding decisions are typically made within three to four months following the submission deadline. Grant recipients are required to submit a post-grant evaluation report within one year of receiving funds, even if the funds have not yet been fully expended. While the foundation does not publicly list prior recipients, its giving history and geographic preferences suggest a strong emphasis on programs that directly benefit local populations, particularly the aging, underserved families, and cultural or educational institutions. Contact regarding application procedures should be directed to the fund administrator via the email provided. Detailed guidelines, including eligibility criteria and deadlines for other Texas-based foundations, can be found in the published Bank of America TX Grantmaking Procedures PDF. Applicants should consult this document for full compliance requirements and best practices.

Start early due to weekday-only tech support; ensure budget is below $20M; strictly adhere to deadline.
