About American Society for Testing and Materials
American Society for Testing and Materials repeatedly directs its largest grants to local institutions in Conshohocken, with the Conshohocken Free Library & Friends of the Library receiving $69,380 in 2025, $63,765 in 2024, and $61,325 in 2023. That three-year pattern points to a funder that supports community organizations over time rather than only making isolated awards. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also backs health, safety, food access, and environmental education work, alongside the mission support it gives to local nonprofits. The broader grant record includes support for Americares Foundation Inc, World Central Kitchen, Riverbend Environment Education Center, For Petes Sake Cancer Respite Foundation, and Senior Law Center, showing a mix of emergency relief, public health, environmental learning, and services for older adults. Several awards sit in the $10,000 to $21,000 range, while a few larger grants extend above that level. The pattern suggests a regional funder with a strong concentration in Pennsylvania and a consistent interest in organizations serving nearby communities.
What American Society for Testing and Materials Funds
Community support is a visible thread in the grant list. The foundation gave $21,000 in 2024 and $21,000 in 2025 to Colonial Neighborhood Council, both times for furthering the organization’s mission. It also supported George Clay Fire Company with $8,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025, again for mission-related purposes. Public health and safety appear in several awards. American Society for Testing and Materials gave $30,000 in 2025 to Americares Foundation Inc and $20,000 in 2023 to Americares, both mission-support grants. In safety education, it gave $10,000 in 2023 to Kids in Danger Design Safety Toolkit. Environmental education is present as well: Riverbend Environment Education Center received $20,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Food insecurity work shows up through grants to World Central Kitchen in 2023 and 2025, and Rise Against Hunger Inc in 2023 and 2024.
How American Society for Testing and Materials Gives
Typical grants cluster tightly around a modest midrange: the p25 is $10,000, the median is $11,000, and the p75 is $20,000. The recent list also shows a small number of much larger awards, including grants above $60,000. Several recipients appear in multiple years, which indicates repeat support rather than one-time-only funding. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, funds organizations rather than individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The grant descriptions in the recent list are largely mission-support awards.
