John A and Margaret Post Foundation

About John A and Margaret Post Foundation

A recurring pattern in John a and Margaret Post Foundation’s recent giving is support for capital campaigns and facility upgrades tied to community-serving institutions. The largest listed grant is $325,000 to Greater Valley Young Mens Christian Association for the Nazareth Renovation Projection and Slate Belt Branch Capital Expansion, a project that appears multiple times in the recent grants list. That same place-based approach shows up in awards to South Street Theater Co Inc for the campaign for MPAC and to Lehigh Valley Hospital for an ENT specialty suite and a healing garden. The foundation’s grantmaking reaches across education, health, recreation, and cultural infrastructure, but it tends to favor tangible assets rather than short-term program support. Recent awards include a student emergency fund at Centenary University, a pool expansion at the Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges, and a community schoolyard project for The Trust for Public Land. In several cases, the named purpose is a campaign, renovation, expansion, or construction effort, which points to a funder that backs physical improvements and long-horizon community investments. Its grants are mostly in the United States, with a strong concentration in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
