The Middletown Community Foundation aims to secure permanent and growing assets to meet the area's changing needs. Since its inception in 1976, and after becoming a standalone foundation in 1986, its mission has been to serve as a perpetual community endowment. The foundation funds projects, programs, and scholarships that benefit education, the arts, and human needs across Franklin, Madison, Monroe, Trenton, and Middletown, focusing on creating and executing initiatives that address immediate community needs and offering donors a variety of tax-deductible options to support the community's development.
The Miriam Knoll Grant is designed to address specific community needs, prioritizing the creation of safe, positive living environments for residents. The grant supports projects that enable families to develop the skills and resources necessary to support and nurture each other, rather than focusing on supporting specific organizations. This grant represents an opportunity to directly impact the living conditions and development capabilities within the community, ensuring that initiatives funded contribute to the well-being and advancement of residents in the covered areas.
