Priorities
The Foxwynd Foundation endeavors to enact impactful change on a national scale, focusing on healthcare, housing, and sustainable environmental initiatives. At the heart of our mission and efforts lie our grantees and partners, who form the bedrock of our collaborative approach. By working in tandem with our partners, we maximize our effectiveness and strive to realize the collective impact we envision. The attainment of our goals is contingent upon various factors, chief among them being the caliber of our partnerships.
While the foundation endeavors to assist numerous programs, priority is granted to those capable of leveraging donations through matching gifts. The foundation allocates its grants on a rolling basis to 501(c)(3) organizations and other tax-exempt entities identified by our staff.
We are currently prioritizing funding request from the Greater Philadelphia area, however we are accepting national requests as well.
Environmental Sustainability
We endeavor to contribute to environmental preservation by endorsing programs centered on reducing carbon emissions, wind and solar energy initiatives, recycling efforts, wildlife conservation, protection of endangered species, the protection of animals (specifically dogs and cats), and initiatives addressing ecology and deforestation.
Healthcare
We provide support to programs that prioritize aiding domestic violence victims, abuse survivors, and safeguarding women's rights. Additionally, we assist those who are food insecure, medical debt relief initiatives, prolonging hospital stays for children, and furnishing medical equipment to regions with low-to-moderate income levels.
Housing
We aim to finance established programs dedicated to various critical endeavors, including supporting shelters, preventing homelessness, particularly focusing on children such as orphanages, providing or establishing shelters, offering housing assistance to prevent eviction, and facilitating employment opportunities for individuals in need.
