About The Grant
The Gibney Family focuses 51% or more of their philanthropic efforts on organizations that support the blind and visually impaired. The Foundation’s focus is on empowering individuals with life challenges within each grant sponsor’s community.
The Gibney Family Foundation strives to find sustainable solutions with every partnership that is made. Sustainable solutions could be independence for the individuals who receive services from organizations, or it could be long-term solutions for the organization itself.
TGFF seeks partnerships with organizations that enable all people to live confident, independent lives.
Our Focus:
-Support for People with Visual Impairments: TGFF strives to empower individuals with visual impairments with independence, employment, and quality of life, which we strongly feel that all should be able to enjoy.
-Support for Families, Adults & Children: TGFF recognizes the importance of mental health, safe living conditions, food security, and other factors needed to support and strengthen families, adults, and children in our communities.
-Support for People with Disabilities: TGFF helps organizations put smiles on faces and build confidence through adaptive recreation, leadership, and specialized programs that further independence.
Mini Grants are often used for a first-time grant as we are getting to know an organization, or to support an organization where this type of funding better fits in their financial picture. A Mini Grant application is for requests up to $5,000.
Regular Grants are best fit for organizations that TGFF has built a relationship with and have previously been awarded a Mini Grant. A Regular Grant application is for requests greater than $5,000.
