Maslow Family Foundation

• The foundation says its grants are primarily focused on the needs of the Wyoming Valley, and it names art, special needs children, education and social needs as its areas of focus, so a request fits best if your work serves those areas and that region.
• Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 of its 183 grants to organisations fall between $5,000 and $25,000, with a median of $10,000, so a request around that size is typical, though its largest grant was $65,000.
• Apply in writing by August 1 with proof of 501(c)(3) status, an explanation of what the money will be used for, and a project or programme budget.
• Repeat giving is strong, with 91% of its grant dollars in the filing going to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, which suggests that relationships matter and that you should plan well before the deadline.
