The Nash Family Foundation's mission is focused on perpetuating the philanthropic legacy of Ruth and Jack Nash. It aims to promote lifelong learning and support for the disadvantaged, prioritizing small organizations within the communities of its Board members or those it has established relationships with. It specifically serves areas in Manitowoc (Wisconsin), Cleveland, Boston, or the Washington, DC Metropolitan area.
The Nash Family Foundation offers grants to support organizations with which it has a prior funding relationship. The grant program encompasses a broad range of funding opportunities including general support, start-up costs, project support, technical assistance, endowments, capital expenditures, and other needs. This approach allows the Foundation to address various aspects of organizational growth and sustainability.
