Welcome!
The McGinnity Family Foundation, Inc. (MFF) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) private family foundation that seeks to help young people become agents of change, harness their innovative spirit and address local and global challenges. We believe there is an amazing, untapped potential that resides in the minds and hearts of our young people that needs to be nourished, cultivated and shared. By enlisting the gifts, talents and passions of our young people we believe that our world community will be greatly enriched, if not transformed. We invite young people to submit proposals for “game changing” initiatives that address social issues and align with the newly adopted funding priorities illustrated by the Five Dimensions of Sustainability.
