Hobbs Foundation

The Hobbs Foundation's mission is to form state-wide partnerships with nonprofit organizations committed to improving the lives of children in Florida. The foundation creates meaningful opportunities and provides vital community-based supports that inspire lasting achievement, foster healthy development, and promote a sense of belonging.

The foundation collaborates directly with nonprofit partners to identify programmatic strategies in response to the needs of at-risk children, working to bridge the gap between wider systems of services and community-based stakeholders to establish pathways to success for children and families.

Core Grantmaking Initiatives:

• Child Welfare: Focuses on safeguarding emotional well-being, promoting healthy connections, and ensuring economic sustainability for at-risk families in Florida. Supports interventions including home visiting, early childhood health, and parenting skills.

• Intervention and Prevention: Targets issues such as substance abuse, mental health, and economic instability that impact children and families in Florida by providing support for prevention programs and services.

The foundation prioritizes partnerships with charitable organizations that have demonstrated evidence-based outcomes, long-term impact, and financial sustainability in improving the well-being of children.
