Robert B. Lantz Foundation
Grant Guidelines
Our Vision
The Foundation was established in 2010 from the legacy of its founder, Rev. Robert B. Lantz, to provide viable and relevant educational and charitable support to the clerical, pastoral, and health care workers of the Northern Neck of Virginia.
Funding Priorities
The Foundation awards grants to 501(c)(3) organizations. Individuals and programs not affiliated with a 501(c)(3) organization are not eligible.
It is expected that grants will be in amounts from $1,000 to $8,000 and will be awarded every calendar year by December 15th.
The RBL Foundation responds to individual proposals initiated by eligible organizations. This Foundation will fund, on a competitive basis, the very best ideas that come forward. The objective of the proposal is determined by the applying organization. Relevance to the organization’s constituency and community, quality of the concept, and consistency with the grant making goals of the Robert B. Lantz Foundation are the principal criteria that inform the Foundation’s grant making.
The Foundation will award grants to:
• Programs in pastoral education for clergy of the Northern Neck
• Programs that directly benefit the mental wellness of the Northern Neck
• Counseling training for clergy of the Northern Neck
• Chaplin services at Rappahannock General Hospital
• Programs that support the education and wellness of health care workers of the Northern Neck
