The Mifflin Memorial Fund gives grants primarily in the human services and educational areas, focusing on low income and minority populations. Grants are also given to environmental/conservation organizations with occasional grants to cultural organizations for special purposes.
The Mifflin Memorial Fund Trustees accept grant applications between October 1st and April 15th of each year, as most of the funds for new grants are allocated at the April Trustees meeting. The final grant making decisions and distributions are made at the September meeting.
