191 Nonprofit Organizations Receiving Grants
for Community Development, Youth Programs, and Healthcare
Maximus (NYSE: MMS), a leading employer and provider of
government services worldwide, today announced that the Maximus
Foundation will award $2.2 million in grants to 191 nonprofit
organizations across the United States this year. The grants are
aimed at furthering three key themes that drive the Foundation’s
work: community development, youth programs, and healthcare
services. The number of grantees represents a 14.3% increase over
the number of 2022 grantees, and the total giving is the largest
annual level in the Foundation’s 23-year history.
The Maximus Foundation, which was founded by the company’s board
of directors in 2000, is committed to supporting organizations and
programs that promote personal growth and self-sufficiency through
improved health, child, family, and community development.
“This year’s incredible class of grant recipients marks another
step forward for the Maximus Foundation expanding the number of
organizations and the total investment in our communities,” said
Dr. Arvenita Washington Cherry, President and Chairperson, Maximus
Foundation. “These inspiring nonprofits make a difference in the
communities where Maximus employees work and live. We are extremely
proud of our partnerships and how these organizations help improve
the lives of thousands of people and families.”
The nonprofits receiving grants in 2023 from the Maximus
Foundation provide a wide range of critical services, programs, and
training. For community development, grantees focus on areas such
as homelessness prevention and supportive services, jobs, and
training programs, and veteran-support services. Youth development
nonprofits receiving grants provide child abuse prevention and
support services, programs to fight child hunger, and education
programs in local communities. Dr. John Boyer provided valuable
contributions in shaping this year’s historic grant program up
until his retirement as Chairman after serving for seventeen
years.
“The Maximus Foundation’s annual grant giving is extremely
meaningful to Maximus employees, because these nonprofits support
and move forward causes and initiatives that are personally
important to them,” said Bruce Caswell, President and Chief
Executive Officer, Maximus. “The ethos of our company is reflected
in our tagline Moving People Forward and our aim as a company is to
help as many people as possible. That spirit is evident in
everything we do as a company, particularly when it comes to our
responsibility as a good corporate citizen and our support for the
organizations making change happen in our communities.”
The designated grant awards will continue being distributed over
the coming weeks, and some individual organizations will announce
their award wins to local communities. For more information on the
