About Nash Family Foundation C/O Hawkins Ash Cpas Llp

The Nash Family Foundation C/o Hawkins Ash Cpas LLP gives repeated general contributions to small community organizations serving disadvantaged populations, with awards appearing across education, food security, housing, youth development, arts and culture, and restorative justice. The foundation’s giving reflects the philanthropic values of Ruth and Jack Nash and a stated interest in supporting small organizations in communities where Trustees live or know personally. Recent grants show that pattern clearly. Catholic Mobilizing Network received multiple awards, including $20,000 and $19,500 in 2025 and $13,000 in 2023. Cathedral of St Matthew the Apostle also appears more than once, including $18,000 in 2025 and $15,000 in 2024. The foundation has also supported organizations tied to local hunger and housing needs, such as Miriam's Kitchen, Grow It Forward, and The Lakeshore Interfaith Hospitality Network Dba Hope House of Manitowoc Co. Its grant list mixes larger awards with many mid-sized general contributions, and the recipients include both Washington, DC-based groups and organizations in Wisconsin, Massachusetts, and Virginia. That combination suggests a funder working through flexible operating support rather than tightly restricted project grants, with an emphasis on organizations already known to the board.
