Grants Reducing Recidivism

Overview

The Bob Barker Foundation was established in May 2009 and now grants more than $1,000,000 annually to deserving programs that reduce recidivism.  Our Vision is to reduce recidivism by seeing the lives of incarcerated individuals changed forever by serving God, family and community. Our mission is to develop and support programs that help incarcerated individuals successfully reenter society and stay out for life.
