This fall, the Foundation will be accepting applications for the following grant programs:

To help organizations better understand the updated grant policy and application process, MMACF will host a free informational webinar on Wednesday, September 4 at 10:00 AM. This session is open to anyone interested in learning more about the available funds, eligibility criteria, and application tips.

“While our annual grant cycles are a major part of what we do, the Foundation is much more than that,” said Ashley Berken, Executive Director of MMACF. “We are a connector, a convener, and a resource. If your organization is looking to collaborate, find partners, or explore other ways we can work together to build a brighter future, we’d love to hear from you—whether through the M&M Area Community Collaborative or by helping you connect with individuals and organizations that share your mission.”

In addition to applying for grants, the Foundation encourages individuals and businesses to consider supporting one of the existing funds or creating a new Field of Interest or Donor Advised Fund to champion causes they care about.
