MKM Foundation’s giving profile is dominated by a single large $2,000,000 grant recorded as “SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE,” so there is no publicly visible thematic or geographic focus in the data provided. The size and singularity of the award suggest the foundation makes episodic, high-dollar grants (possibly a capital, endowment, scholarship or pass‑through commitment) rather than many small operating grants. Because the actual beneficiary(ies) are not named in the record, the foundation’s issue priorities cannot be determined from this dataset alone.
A single $2,000,000 general-support grant recorded as “See Attached Schedule” is the most distinctive item in MKM Foundation’s recent record. That award stands apart from the rest of the file and suggests a foundation that can make episodic, high-dollar commitments alongside a broader portfolio of smaller grants. The named grants that do appear show support across food access, aging, health, legal aid, and arts and culture, with many gifts at the $25,000 to $100,000 level and several directed to Philadelphia-area organizations. Among the largest named recipients, Philabundance received both a $160,000 general-support grant and a separate $30,000 capital-expansion grant, while Direct Relief received $100,000 for general and unrestricted support. The foundation also funded Pennsylvania Prison Society, Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA, and the Philadelphia Orchestra Association, indicating a mix of human services, public health, community support, and cultural giving. The pattern in the record is broad but still anchored by a strong concentration of regional organizations, especially in Pennsylvania.
Food security appears as a recurring theme. MKM Foundation gave $160,000 to Philabundance for general support and another $30,000 to Philabundance for the PCK Capital Expansion Project, along with $30,000 to Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance for general and unrestricted support and $30,000 to Cathedral Soup Kitchen Inc. for general and unrestricted support. Health and safety-related giving also shows up in multiple grants. Direct Relief received $100,000 for general and unrestricted support, and Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA received $70,000 for general and unrestricted support. The record also includes $75,000 to Center for Disaster Philanthropy Inc for general and unrestricted support and $39,000 to Hispanic Federation Inc for the UNIDOS Disaster Relief and Recovery Program. Arts and culture are represented by $50,000 to Philadelphia Orchestra Association and $25,000 to Interact Inc for Theatres at The Drake.
The recent file includes one outlier grant at $2,000,000, while the named awards cluster much lower: the typical grant size is $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $30,000 at the 75th percentile. That mix points to a foundation that can pair a major episodic commitment with many mid-sized gifts. The grants shown are mostly one-time entries in a single year of the file, with the large 2025 award separated from a cluster of 2023 grants. MKM Foundation is a private grantmaker with no program-related investments listed, and it also funds individuals. The record does not show an application process.

Highly concentrated: one very large grant in the record. Appears to favor single, sizable commitments rather than distributed small grants; insufficient data to determine frequency or repeat grantees.
Notable grantees: SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE (grant recipient details not disclosed)
Grant recipients are overwhelmingly in the United States, with the file showing 84 grants to U.S. organizations. Pennsylvania is the top state by grant count, and Philadelphia is the most visible city in the list, with awards to Philabundance, Pennsylvania Prison Society, Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA, the Philadelphia Orchestra Association, and others. Outside Pennsylvania, the grants reach Chicago, Washington, DC, Santa Barbara, New York, Camden, Los Angeles, Princeton, Alexandria, Moores Town, Media, and Jackson. Delaware appears only once among recipient locations, at 1% of grants.
The distribution is centered on smaller awards: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $30,000. The record also contains a single $2,000,000 grant, which is much larger than the rest of the file.
Pennsylvania is the top state by grant count. Philadelphia is especially prominent in the recipient list, with multiple organizations there receiving support across food access, aging, health, legal aid, and the arts.
Yes. The foundation is marked as funding individuals, alongside its organizational grants in the recent record.
The named grants point to food security, health and disaster relief, aging services, legal aid, women’s health, immigration support, and arts and culture. Examples in the record include Philabundance, Direct Relief, Philadelphia Corporation for Aging, Planned Parenthood Southeastern PA, and Philadelphia Orchestra Association.
Yes. Philabundance appears twice in the recent grants list, once for $160,000 in general support and again for $30,000 for the PCK Capital Expansion Project. That suggests at least some repeat support within the record.
