The MMZ Foundation appears to prioritize local community needs with a strong emphasis on education and youth services, supplemented by support for arts and cultural institutions and a notable commitment to burn prevention/health-safety. Most grants are to small-to-mid sized nonprofits in the Bethlehem/Easton region (with a few out-of-area gifts), and the foundation demonstrates repeat support for select organizations. Its giving favors programmatic and institutional support rather than restricted project-designated grants.
Concentrated, moderately sized grants with repeat support to a handful of core local grantees; a small portfolio (9 grants) dominated by education-related recipients and several multi-year or repeat gifts rather than many one-off small donations.
