About Robert G Cabell Iii and Maude Morgan Cabell Foundation
A $1.03 million grant to Hampden-Sydney College for the science center project and community outreach captures the Robert G Cabell III and Maude Morgan Cabell Foundation’s pattern: large, place-based commitments that help Virginia institutions build, expand, or preserve physical assets. The foundation’s recent grants also include seven-figure support for Children’s Hospital and Healthcare Services Foundation and major awards to FeedMore Inc., Better Housing Coalition, and the Virginia Repertory Theatre, showing a strong tilt toward capital campaigns and facility-driven growth. Across the recent grant list, the foundation backs colleges, hospitals, housing providers, cultural institutions, and conservation groups, but usually through a building, campaign, or infrastructure lens rather than short-term project funding. It has also supported organizational needs when tied to mission delivery, such as unrestricted operating expenses for VCU Foundation and program-and-operations support for Supportworks Housing. The recipient base is entirely in Virginia, and the scale ranges from mid-five-figure grants to seven-figure awards, with the most visible commitments aimed at strengthening institutions that serve Richmond and nearby communities.
