We are dedicated to supporting services creating a better life for children and youth.
Robert M - Bobby - Allison Charitable Tr. shows a clear multi-year pattern of backing youth-serving organizations in Springfield and nearby Greene County. Its active Stronger Pathways Award is built around 12 months of support for nonprofits, agencies, and schools that serve children, youth, and families in Greene County, Missouri, with the stated aim of strengthening and expanding service capacity. That program aligns with the foundation’s broader grant history, which repeatedly centers on direct service for children and adolescents, after-school programming, mentoring, and school-related support. Recent grants point to a network of local providers working with youth in different settings. Foster Adopt Connect received $79,500 in both 2024 and 2025, while Casa of Southwest Mo received $77,500 in each of those years. The foundation also made repeated awards to Community Partnership of the Ozarks, Boys and Girls Club of Springfield, Care to Learn, and Arc of the Ozarks, all at levels that suggest sustained operating support rather than isolated project checks. Across the record, the focus stays local and consistently tied to youth services.
Youth services are the dominant thread. In 2025, the foundation gave $70,000 to Care to Learn for youth services and $66,000 to Family Violence Center for youth services, showing support for both school-linked help and broader family safety needs. School-centered support also appears in the grant record. Willard Public Schools received $66,000 in both 2024 and 2025, and Summit Preparatory School of Southwest Missouri received $57,000 in 2025, both tagged for youth services. Community-based service organizations are another clear area. The Kitchen received $57,000 in 2024 and 2025, while Drew Lewis Foundation received $62,500 in each year, indicating continued support for local organizations serving children and families through direct programs. The portfolio also includes child advocacy and grief support, with Child Advocacy Center receiving $62,500 in both years and Lost & Found Grief Center receiving $66,000 in 2024 and 2025.
Grant sizes cluster in the mid-five-figure range. The typical award is $17,625 at the 25th percentile, $46,750 at the median, and $65,125 at the 75th percentile, while several recent grants land above $70,000. The record shows repeat awards to the same organizations across 2024 and 2025, which points to ongoing support rather than one-time funding. The foundation makes grants only in Missouri, and the active Stronger Pathways Award accepts unsolicited applications from nonprofits, agencies, and schools. Its structure and program design indicate local, direct-service grantmaking focused on community organizations.
