Tinty Foundation Grant

The Tinty Foundation was established to support youth athletics, public safety services, and animal care and rights. Founded by Donald Tinty's executors, it aims to foster initiatives that improve these sectors and contribute to community well-being.

Type of Support

Overview

The Tinty Foundation Grant focuses on supporting programs and organizations dedicated to making a positive impact across communities, with an emphasis on transcending ethnic, racial, and economic boundaries. Specifically, the foundation aims to bolster efforts in:

  • After-school programs that promote academic excellence along with recreational and athletic activities.
  • Public safety organizations, including those related to fire, police, and emergency medical services.
  • Animal care and rights, including support for humane societies and animal rights movements.

The grant encourages both existing organizations and grassroots efforts working in these areas, with a particular interest in projects and programs that hold special significance to Tinty members.
