Mimi and Cliff devoted passion, time, and resources to support diverse causes in the greater Morris County community. The Foundation is proud to continue to share their values and vision for generations to come. We are dedicated to learning about the needs within the community so that we may offer partnership and support in the place Mimi and Cliff called home.
In alignment with our mission, we provide grants to the below areas of interest. To provide sufficient consideration to the growing number of applicants, the areas of interest have been categorized into two grant cycles. This allows each organization to apply for a grant annually, as consistent with our previous grant cycle. It also allows for MWSF to dedicate the time required to establish meaningful relationships with applicants, give fair due diligence and consideration to each application, and to continue to offer Beyond Grantmaking opportunities. If you have questions related to the Areas of Interest, please contact us.
Criteria:
• Grants which benefit the greater Morris County area
• Solicited or unsolicited grants
• Grants supporting specified projects and/or general operating expenses
• 1-year or multi-year grants
• Certified 501(c)(3) public charities by the IRS

We do not offer grants to: individuals, for loans, general fundraising, benefits and events, endowment campaigns, research, unless it contains an explicit and practical application or outcome, to support candidates for political office or to lobby in support of or against legislation, or any political action, religious organizations and activities, with the exception of grants related to the aforementioned areas of interest.
