Restrictions: THE MATTHIAS FOUNDATION, INC., WAS ESTABLISHED ON NOVEMBER 3, 1981. THIS IS A FAMILY FOUNDATION THAT FUNDS FOR QUALIFIED 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATIONS WHICH THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DEEM DESERVING OF RECEIVING A GRANT. FUNDED ORGANIZATIONS TYPICALLY ARE ONES WITH WHICH MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE VERY FAMILIAR AND OFTEN INVOLVED AND MOST OFTEN ENCOUNTERED DIFFICULTIES RECEIVING SIMILAR FUNDING FROM OTHER SOURCES. MOST ORGANIZATIONS FUNDED ARE LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL FLORIDA AREA, THOUGH, OCCASIONALLY, OUT OF STATE ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVE GRANTS, PARTICULARLY IN THE CHICAGO AND IDAHO AREAS, LOCATIONS WHERE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS LIVE OR HAVE LIVED. THE FOUNDATION'S PRIMARY GIVING FOCUSES IN THE FIELDS OF YOUTH ACTIVITIES, EDUCATION AND RELIGION. OCCASIONALLY NEEDY ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER FIELDS DO RECEIVE FUNDING, BUT THIS WOULD BE THE EXCEPTION RATHER THAN THE RULE.
