The Maslow Family Foundation focuses on supporting regional nonprofit institutions across northeastern Pennsylvania and nearby states, with recurring investments in community arts, animal sanctuaries/rescue, faith-based Jewish community programming, social services and therapeutic supports, and small colleges/camps. Grants are often program or general operating support and many grantees receive multiple awards over time, indicating ongoing partnerships with mid-sized local organizations rather than one-off national gifts.
Maslow Family Foundation Inc gives repeated support to a cluster of northeastern Pennsylvania organizations, with several recipients appearing in multiple years and award sizes often reaching into the $20,000 to $55,000 range. The largest grant in the recent record was $55,000 to Circle Center for the Arts in Wilkes-Barre, followed by another $50,000 award the prior year, a pattern that points to continuing support rather than isolated gifts. Similar repeat funding shows up across other local institutions, including Marywood University in Scranton, Blue Chip Farm Animal Refuge in Dallas, and the Wilkes-barre YMCA. The foundation’s recent grants also show a mix of community arts, education, animal rescue, and Jewish communal programming. Kingston-based organizations such as the Jewish Community Center and the Institute for Human Resources appear alongside regional groups in Harveys Lake, Dallas, and Forty Fort, indicating a giving pattern centered on nearby nonprofits with direct community roles. Grants are frequently labeled charitable, and many recipients receive support over more than one year.
Community arts is a clear theme in the foundation’s giving. They awarded $55,000 to Circle Center for the Arts for charitable purposes, and also gave $20,000 to Burlington City Arts, extending support beyond northeastern Pennsylvania. Education and youth development appear in grants to Marywood University for $40,000 and to Camp Treetops North Country School for $20,000. The record also includes $27,000 to Wyoming Seminary College Preparator, showing support for local higher education and preparatory education. Animal welfare is another recurring area. Blue Chip Farm Animal Refuge received $40,000 in 2025 after prior awards of $30,000 in 2024 and 2023, while Rescue Ranch received $20,000 in 2023. Health and disability-related support appears in grants to Allied Services Integrative Health for $20,000 and the Parkinson's Disease Foundation for $20,000.
Typical grant size sits at $6,250 at the 25th percentile, a median of $10,000, and $15,000 at the 75th percentile, while the recent record also includes a number of larger awards in the $20,000 to $55,000 range. The pattern suggests a base of smaller grants with some larger repeat commitments to selected organizations. Recipients often show up across multiple years, including several awards to the same nonprofits in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation funds charitable grants rather than individuals and makes no program-related investments. The available records point to a local, relationship-based grantmaker rather than an open application funder.
