The Maddox Fund is committed to removing barriers that contribute to intergenerational poverty and to unlocking opportunities for marginalized youth. We value high impact programs, including long-term mentoring relationships and life-skills programs. We support movements that promote the voices and courageous leadership of youth.
The Maddox Fund’s grants will focus on ages 6 through traditional college age (ages 4-24).
The Maddox Fund supports organizations serving marginalized youth–youth from goups that had been historically oppressed or experienced systemic racism.
The fund also focuses on youth with financial barriers. If applying under this category, please include in the program description the definition of economic need used by your organization as well as how program eligibility is determined (i.e., TANF, Food Stamps, etc.) and documented.
Grantees should document income eligibility for programs supported by the Maddox Fund.
