About

  • “The grants provided by the Stallings Foundation have allowed us to increase the number of youth and their families we support through outpatient adolescent treatment by 56%. They understand that trauma-responsive counseling, prevention, intervention and treatment are key to healing our communities. We’re grateful to the Stallings Foundation’s steadfast support over the past 3 years.”

  • “The matching grant from Stallings Foundation was a catalyst for inspiring increased participation in our Golf Challenge fundraising. We surpassed our goal of raising $125,000 for the Summer Enrichment Program. Through our Summer Enrichment Camps, our students participate in STEM projects, Healthy Living Days, Bible Studies, field trips and more. Your generosity has made so much possible for our students!”

“Our dream is to make a difference in the lives of children and their families by sharing the abundant blessings God has given us.”

— Robert Stallings, Chairman and Founder of the Stallings Foundation

The Stallings Foundation is on a mission to help children facing challenging circumstances. We firmly believe every child has the right to a secure and stable home, and we strive to make this a reality for all we serve.

By partnering with organizations that help families meet their basic needs and set them on a path to success, we hope to change the trajectory of their lives and create a new family legacy. 

We also want to help children and teens overcome traumatic experiences like poverty, homelessness, abuse, and neglect. The Foundation provides grants to non-profits that provide services to these children by empowering them to transform their lives and help them meet their full potential.

About The Foundation

Established in 2001, The Stallings Foundation partners with nonprofits to support and sustain the lives of children and families so they can thrive and develop hope for the future. Focusing on children’s welfare, the Family-run Foundation provides nonprofits with grants for programs that encourage healthy families, provide youth enrichment opportunities, and provide access to mental health services to children who are experiencing adverse childhood experiences. Since 2001, the Foundation has distributed nearly $4 million to organizations that help children and families to flourish. The Stallings Foundation has an invitation-only application process and does not accept unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals.
