How We Support

    We are a small family foundation with the hope of making a small, but meaningful, impact.  The organizations we support directly impact local communities or reflect our family's story.  We do not provide unsolicited grants, but rather foster relationships with non-profits we support, including sponsoring events.

Who We Support

To carry out our mission, we focus support on:

• Grassroots organizations

• Seed projects that have never received a grant

• Organizations with a personal connection to our family

• Nonprofits that continue to support our mission year after year

• Non-profits providing mental health, education in the community, healthcare for children, community and housing, or honor H. Michael (Mike) and Neola Hayes

Events We Support

To further collaboration and financial support, we happily sponsor or join events that support our mission.
