Apply for Funding
The Stober Foundation is pleased to accept project specific funding requests from charities through our online application portal. As a board we meet twice a year to extensively review and adjudicate all applications, providing they meet our funding criteria and guidelines.
We consider both single term and multi-year commitments based on the strength of the application, its target population, mandates, the values of the charity, and providing it meets one (or more) of our Core Areas of Interest.
So, if you’re a charity with a project/initiative that is making a big difference in our world, we’d love to hear from you.

The Next Generation of Family Philanthropy
Our family foundation was created to help those in need. We have been tremendously blessed to be in the graceful position to help others. As a family, we need to come together and adapt in order to provide support and opportunities for change. In doing so, we can help others become whole, better their circumstances, their lives, and ultimately the lives of so many others through their success. Let us steward with grace, effectively and with great impact.
