The Siragusa Family Foundation is working to align its grantmaking around its mission, vision and values while assessing community needs. As a result of this process, we believe the most effective way for the foundation to utilize its resources is to continue our focus on maintaining support for current grantees. However if the foundation’s situation changes in any way, we will update our website with relevant information.
