The mission of the Nobbs Foundation is to empower and enable disadvantaged but aspiring children and young adults to reach their dreams and become independent, productive, and self-sufficient. The Foundation supports organizations in Southern California that provide education, scholarships, training, and mentoring, dedicated to empowering youth and young adults through these means.
The grant program of the Nobbs Foundation emphasizes supporting invited organizations that work with disadvantaged youth and young adults, offering education, scholarships, training, and mentoring to aid in their development towards independence and self-sufficiency. The grant process begins with an invitation to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI), followed by a possible request for a detailed Stage 2 Grant Application for those approved. The funding priorities reflect the founders' values of enabling people in need to become independent, productive, and self-sufficient, covering program, operating, or capital expenses usually for a single year.
