Webb Educational Foundation

Webb Educational Foundation (EIN 47-5665759) is a Carson City, Nevada-based educational support foundation classified under NTEE B90 (Educational Support Services). Its tagline—"empowering youth, connecting families"—signals a focus on reducing barriers to educational access. The foundation's primary program is the provision of school tuition grants, directly paying or subsidizing tuition costs for students and families who qualify. This direct-to-beneficiary model differs from typical institutional grantmaking; instead of funding schools or nonprofits, the foundation funds individual student tuition needs. The foundation appears to operate on a consistent annual grant cycle, with revenues of $250,000-$300,000 per year and documented tuition grant activity. The modest address (204 West Spear Street, Carson City, NV) suggests a lean operating model without a large staff.

Webb Educational Foundation has maintained a remarkably consistent revenue stream of $250,000 per year (2020-2022) with $300,000 in 2021, totaling approximately $1 million over four years against $1.3M in assets. This steady income pattern (likely from a recurring endowment income or annual donor) combined with school tuition grants as the primary program expense suggests approximately $200,000-$250,000 per year flows out as tuition grants to students. Individual grants are likely modest ($500-$5,000 per student) given the total pool, meaning the foundation may support 50-200+ students annually with tuition assistance. The 2021-2022 documented program expense of $14,742 for that specific program category may represent only a portion of total grants, or could reflect a pilot year. Overall the foundation appears to be a meaningful source of K-12 or private school tuition support.

Webb Educational Foundation operates in the educational scholarship and tuition assistance space, competing and overlapping with student-facing funders.

Webb Educational Foundation's focus on direct tuition grants (vs. merit scholarships or policy advocacy) gives it a distinctive operational identity among education-focused funders.

Webb Educational Foundation filed IRS returns documenting consistent annual revenues of $250,000-$300,000 from 2020 through the most recent filing year (2023). The foundation maintains an active WordPress website at webbeducationalfoundation.org with the tagline "empowering youth, connecting families." Its documented program—"Grants for School Tuition Year 2021-2022"—with $14,742 in program expenses confirms ongoing tuition grant activity. The foundation is registered at a Carson City, NV residential/mailbox address, consistent with a leanly-operated philanthropic entity. No major leadership changes or public announcements have been found in recent years. The foundation was founded in the mid-2010s and has maintained steady operations for approximately a decade.

Webb Educational Foundation's primary grantees appear to be individual students or families seeking tuition assistance, rather than nonprofit organizations. Organizations seeking funding should consider: (1) the foundation is most directly relevant to schools seeking tuition assistance programs for their students; (2) nonprofits offering educational support services (tutoring, college prep, etc.) may find alignment with the "empowering youth" mission; (3) direct inquiry via the website contact form is the recommended approach since no formal RFP has been identified. Grant seekers should frame requests around direct student impact and family access to quality education. Avoid framing requests around general programmatic or operational funding—this foundation's identity centers on direct tuition payment assistance. The consistent $250K annual revenue suggests capacity for 5-10 grants to schools or nonprofit partners in the $10,000-$50,000 range, or many smaller individual tuition grants.
