The Victoria Foundation
Phoenix, AZ
Victoria Foundation is a private grantmaking institution, which was founded in 1924 by Mr. Hendon Chubb in honor of his mother, Victoria Eddis Chubb. Since the early 1960’s the Foundation’s trustees have targeted giving to programs that impact the cycle of poverty in Newark, New Jersey. In the 1970’s, a second priority was initiated to protect the environment throughout the state of New Jersey. Within Newark, funded projects address K-12 education reform, neighborhood revitalization, and strengthening youth and families.
Today, Victoria Foundation has a two-fold mission:
To improve the lives of children and families in need in Newark, New Jersey; and to protect water resources and preserve precious open space statewide.
To fulfill its Newark mission, the Foundation seeks to
- improve educational outcomes for young people
- stabilize and revitalize distressed neighborhoods
- promote civic engagement and leadership
- increase job training and placement opportunities
- help children develop into healthy adults
- strengthen families and prevent crises
Statewide grantmaking related to the environment targets
- the New Jersey Highlands
- the Pinelands National Reserve
- Kittatiny Ridge & Valley Region
