About Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Inc directs almost all of its funding to support its collegiate member institutions, providing multi-hundred-thousand-dollar grants to private colleges in the Northeast that participate in the MAAC. Grants are clearly targeted at sustaining institutional and athletics-related needs (member support, program funding, and student-athlete resources), with a preference for repeated, predictable support to conference schools. The portfolio reflects a regional and membership-driven philanthropic strategy rather than broad public philanthropy.

About Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Inc’s giving is built around member-institution support, with each of the listed recent grants directed to a MAAC school or conference-related beneficiary. The largest grant in the recent file is $375,350 to Quinnipiac University for member institution support, and Quinnipiac appears again in the 2025 record with a $329,197 award. That repeat pattern is mirrored elsewhere in the portfolio: several colleges receive support in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting a stable funding rhythm rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s grants are generally in the low-to-mid six figures, and the recipients are predominantly private colleges in the Northeast. Among the better-documented recipients are Siena College, Saint Peters University, Manhattan College, Marist College, Iona College, Mount Saint Mary College, Fairfield University, Niagara University, Canisius College, and Rider University. The grant purpose language is consistent across the file, pointing to institutional support for conference members rather than project-specific public philanthropy. Across the portfolio, the foundation functions as a membership-network funder for collegiate athletics and related institutional needs.
What Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Funds
Operational support is the dominant theme in the recent grants. Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Inc gave $350,913 to Rider University and later followed with $162,746 to the same institution, both recorded as support for a member institution. Student-athlete and athletics-related resources also sit within the portfolio’s scope, as shown by the recurring support to conference schools that participate in MAAC athletics. Siena College received $327,197 in 2024 and $224,325 in 2025 for member institution support, while Saint Peters University was awarded $325,821 in 2024 and $218,161 in 2025 for the same purpose. The foundation also supports institutional stability across Catholic and liberal arts colleges in the conference. Fairfield University, Marist College, Iona College, Niagara University, and Canisius College all appear in the recent-grants list with six-figure awards tied to member institution support.
How Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Gives
The recent grants cluster around a narrow size band: p25 is $206,986, the median is $222,101, and p75 is $319,920. That distribution shows relatively even, repeatable awards rather than highly variable grantmaking. Several recipients appear in both 2024 and 2025, including Quinnipiac University, Rider University, Siena College, Saint Peters University, Mount Saint Mary College, Fairfield University, Marist College, Iona College, Niagara University, Canisius College, and Manhattan College. The pattern fits a membership-based funder providing recurring institutional support. The organization is a conference entity rather than a family foundation or donor-advised fund, and the filing data shows it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
