Charles A. Micale Grant

The Charles A. Micale Foundation was created in 2007 to benefit society through charitable projects. In order to achieve this goal, it looks worldwide to groups that advocate the free enterprise system and have values and goals of self-reliance, but are less fortunate in terms of the availability of educational and medical resources to achieve these goals.
