About Forvis Mazars Foundation
Forvis Mazars Foundation’s recent grantmaking includes a $500,000 Hurricane Relief grant to United Way of Collier & The Keys, a clear sign that disaster response can sit alongside its broader community portfolio. The foundation gives across charitable, educational, and community-development activities, with support reaching both Springfield-area organizations and national recipients. Its recent awards show a practical mix of large general-purpose gifts, education support, food-security funding, and health-related grants. Several of the largest awards point to that blend. The foundation gave $180,000 to the University of Nebraska Foundation for Education and $105,000 to Riley Children’s Foundation for General Purpose. It also made sizable general-purpose grants to Center for Leadership Development and The University of Kansas Health System, both above $90,000. At the community level, it has supported capital campaigns in Springfield and programmatic work tied to local residents. The pattern suggests a board-directed funder that backs organizations with defined public-service roles, measurable community benefit, and a fit with the civic priorities of the firm’s operating footprint.
