The Max and Marian Farash Charitable Foundation is a private charitable foundation established in 1988 by Max and Marian Farash. The Foundation is dedicated to the civic and religious communities of its founders who believed in the importance of education and knew the power of entrepreneurial creativity. It strives to make long-term and meaningful contributions in Monroe and Ontario Counties and in Israel. The Foundation serves primarily as a grantmaking organization, with half of its grants supporting Jewish Life, and the other half supporting secular activities in the greater Rochester area. The Foundation places its highest priority on endeavors designed to transform the lives of individuals and the work of organizations.
Purpose
The Covid pandemic created many challenges that impacted the afterschool programs and continue to hamper program recovery. As a result of the pandemic, the community has been grappling with the loss of afterschool programs and program supports, the decline in available slots, staffing challenges, and transportation issues that impact accessibility and attendance. Afterschool programs provide youth and families with a multitude of supports, stability, and safe places for learning and play. The Farash Foundation understands the critical role afterschool programs play in the community and is seeking proposals for one-time funding for supports that will bolster the recovery and stabilization of programs.
