The Leslie C Mapp Foundation concentrates its modest giving on basic community needs and local civic life, primarily supporting hunger relief and public media. Grants are few but substantial relative to the foundation's total giving, with repeated support to a food bank and a single public television station, suggesting a preference for direct service providers and community institutions.
Concentrated and targeted: a very small number of grants totaling $30,000, including repeat funding to a single food bank and a single larger grant to public television; prefers general operating support over project-specific grants.
The Leslie C Mapp Foundation Xxxxx9007’s giving is marked by repeated support for Dayton, Ohio organizations that meet basic needs and serve local audiences. One of the clearest patterns in the recent grants is its multi-year relationship with Foodbank Inc, including three $10,000 awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also backed Greater Dayton Public Television Inc with $10,000 in 2025 and $7,500 in 2024, showing that its portfolio extends beyond human services into community public media. The grant list suggests a narrow, concentrated approach rather than broad thematic spread. Dayton-based recipients recur often, and awards are typically general support rather than restricted project funding. Alongside food distribution and public television, the foundation has supported organizations such as Daybreak Inc, Clothes That Work, Kids in New Directions Inc, and The Salvation Army. The result is a giving profile centered on direct service providers and civic institutions that operate close to the communities they serve.
Food access is a central theme. The foundation gave $10,000 to Foodbank Inc in 2025, following $10,000 grants in both 2024 and 2023, and also awarded $7,500 and $5,000 to The Salvation Army in Dayton in separate years. Its support for community-serving nonprofits also reaches workforce and material assistance. Clothes That Work received $7,500 in 2025 and $6,000 in both 2024 and 2023, while Crayons to Classrooms Dayton received $7,500 in 2025 and $5,000 in 2024. Youth and family services appear in the portfolio as well. Kids in New Directions Inc received $7,500 in 2025 and 2024, and $7,500 again in 2023. The foundation also supported Daybreak Inc with $8,000 in 2025 and 2024, and Victory Project with $7,000 in 2025 and 2023.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a modest range: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $7,000, and the 75th percentile is $7,500. Even at that size, the foundation’s giving is concentrated rather than diffuse, with several organizations appearing in multiple years and multiple awards. The grants are generally listed as GENERAL support, which points to flexible operating support rather than project-only funding. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its most recent filing year on file is 2025.
