The Rose M & Robert W Stubbs Foundation concentrates its giving on performing arts and programs for people with disabilities, favoring established nonprofit institutions. Grants are focused and repeatable — the foundation makes multiple awards to a small set of beneficiaries, primarily supporting general operating needs rather than project-specific funding. Although based in Florida, the foundation’s recent major gifts are to New York–area organizations, suggesting a personal or historical connection to those grantees or region.
The Rose M & Robert W Stubbs Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a small set of repeat beneficiaries, with the largest award in the file going to the Adaptive Sports Foundation in Windham, New York. That pattern fits a grantmaker that concentrates on performing arts and services for people with disabilities, rather than spreading support broadly across many issue areas. Multiple awards recur to the same organizations over time, including Roundabout Theatre Co Inc in New York and Pathfinder Village Foundation in Edmeston, New York, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation’s portfolio also includes support for organizations serving adults with developmental disabilities and for institutions tied to regional arts and community life. Its recent grants are mostly general operating awards, which suggests core support for established nonprofits is a consistent part of the strategy. Even with a modest asset base, the foundation’s annual giving is organized around a narrow set of nonprofits that appear again and again in the grant record. A New York-centered group of grantees stands out, alongside Florida organizations and a few recipients outside those two states.
Performing arts is one of the clearest themes in the foundation’s recent grants. It gave $16,000 in 2023 and $15,000 in 2024 to Roundabout Theatre Co Inc in New York, showing repeat support for a professional theatre organization. The same year, it also awarded $1,500 to Grand American Ballett in San Diego, extending that arts support beyond the Northeast. Disability-focused giving is another major thread. The foundation awarded $27,800 to Adaptive Sports Foundation in Windham, New York in 2024, and it also supported Pathfinder Village Foundation in Edmeston, New York with $15,500 in 2024. Pathfinder Village is part of a broader pattern of grants to organizations serving adults with developmental disabilities. The portfolio includes community and faith-based organizations as well. Grants to Church of the Nativity in Timonium, Maryland and St Michael Catholic Church in Fernandina, Florida appear in the recent record, alongside support for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County Fndn and the Salvation Army in Jacksonville.

Concentrated, mid-sized grants to a narrow portfolio: a handful of repeat grantees receive multiple general-support awards rather than many one-off small gifts; total giving is modest but focused.
Notable grantees: Adaptive Sports Foundation, Roundabout Theatre Company, Pathfinder Village Foundation, Windham Foundation of New York
Typical grants are small to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $500, the median is $1,000, and the 75th percentile is $3,375. The recent record shows a narrower group of organizations receiving multiple awards in successive years, including Roundabout Theatre Co Inc, Adaptive Sports Foundation, Pathfinder Village Foundation, and Windham Foundation of New York Inc. Grant descriptions are consistently GENERAL, indicating operating support rather than project-specific funding. The foundation gives through grantmaking only; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
The foundation gives nationally, but the grant record is heavily concentrated in New York, which is also the top state by grant count. New York recipients include Windham, New York; New York, New York; and Edmeston, New York. Florida accounts for 26% of grants, with recipients in Fernandina Beach, Jacksonville, and Fernandina. The recent file also includes grants to Ridgewood, New Jersey; Timonium, Maryland; Rochester, Minnesota; San Diego, California; and Wise, Virginia.
Its recent grants center on performing arts organizations, services for people with disabilities, and community institutions. The record includes support for professional theatre, adaptive sports, and residential or vocational services for adults with developmental disabilities, along with smaller awards to churches, youth organizations, and other community groups.
The grant-size distribution is compact: p25 is $500, the median is $1,000, and p75 is $3,375. The recent record also shows larger awards in the mid-teens and one grant above $27,000, but most grants sit in a relatively small range.
Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years in the recent record, including Roundabout Theatre Co Inc in 2023 and 2024, Adaptive Sports Foundation in 2023 and 2024, and Pathfinder Village Foundation in 2023 and 2024. That points to a recurring-support pattern rather than isolated gifts.
The grants are marked GENERAL in the recent record, which indicates operating support. That pattern appears across the portfolio, including support for arts organizations, disability services, and community groups.
