Together with her three daughters (Nancy Woodling, Sara Jane Norton and Mary Ann Dobras), Beth K. Stocker established The Stocker Foundation in 1979.
The Stocker Foundation began with $2 million. Over time, the Foundation has evolved into a mature grant making organization and now has current approximate assets of $38 million.
Annually, The Stocker Foundation awards an average of $2.7 million to tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Since its inception, more than $38 million has been distributed.
The Stocker Foundation’s mission is to "Strengthen communities where Trustees reside." Currently eligible are communities located in: Lorain and Cuyahoga counties, Ohio; Pima County, Arizona; Alameda and San Francisco counties, California; Bernalillo and Dona Ana counties, New Mexico; and King County, Washington.
Grantmaking focuses upon lessening the achievement gap and raising student's academic performance, primarily for those attending under-served, low-income urban school districts.
