The Miraldi Family Private Foundation concentrates its giving on supporting higher education, with both recorded grants going to The College of Wooster for general operating support. The pattern suggests a strong, local commitment to a specific small liberal arts institution rather than broad geographic or program diversity. Their grants appear targeted at sustaining institutional capacity rather than funding discrete programs or capital projects.
Highly concentrated and targeted: very few grants, repeat support to a single institution, moderate-sized unrestricted gifts focused on operating needs.
Notable grantees: The College of Wooster
Miraldi Family Pvt Fdn’s giving is anchored by higher education support, with The College of Wooster appearing as the largest recent recipient at $26,500 in 2024 and another $25,000 grant in 2023, both for general operating support. That repeated commitment points to a funder that favors sustained institutional support rather than one-time project funding. The foundation also appears to use general operating grants across a small set of nonprofits, including United Way Worldwide at $6,500 in 2023 and United Way of Greater Cleveland at $5,000 in 2024, again without tying the support to a narrow project. Across the recent grants list, the same pattern holds: modest awards, recurring support, and an emphasis on keeping organizations functioning. Higher education is the clearest thread, but the grants also show attention to community services, health, food access, and advocacy organizations. The foundation’s recent record suggests a practical grantmaking style centered on core support for institutions it already knows and continues to back.
In higher education, the foundation made its largest recent grant of $26,500 to The College of Wooster for general operating support, following a $25,000 grant in the prior year for the same purpose. That repeated backing is the clearest signal in the file. Community service organizations also receive steady support: United Way Worldwide received $6,500 in 2023, and United Way of Greater Cleveland received $5,000 in 2024, both unrestricted. The foundation also gave $5,000 and $3,000 to Music on a Mission in 2023 and 2024, showing another repeated relationship. In health-related giving, Doctors Without Borders USA received $3,250 in 2024 and $2,320 in 2023, both for general operating support. Advocacy and public-interest groups also appear, including Planned Parenthood Federation of America at $3,070 in 2023 and the Brennan Center for Justice at $2,000 in 2023.
Typical grant size is small: p25 is $500, median is $500, and p75 is $1,000. The recent record is dominated by general operating support, with grants spread across a large number of recipients rather than a few large awards. The pattern looks recurring in places: The College of Wooster appears in both 2023 and 2024, and several other organizations also show up more than once across the list. The foundation is a private foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. No application process is shown in the provided data.
