The Maximus Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the government services provider Maximus, has announced that it will award more than $2 million in grants to 167 nonprofit organizations across the United States this year.

This year, the funding will be focused on the organization’s three giving themes: community development, youth development, and healthcare services. Grants will include nearly $400,000 in support of 34 nonprofits focused on homelessness prevention and support, and more than $300,000 to 25 organizations working to address child abuse or child hunger.

“We are excited to announce this year’s grant recipients, as we continue to expand the number of organizations and the overall community investment. It has been inspiring to see the growth and impact of the Maximus Foundation continue to deepen over time,” said Maximus Foundation chair John Boyer. “The purpose of the Maximus Foundation is to give back to the communities where Maximus employees work and live. We are proud of our partnership with these organizations and the impact they are making to improve the lives and well-being of thousands of people and families in neighborhoods across the country.”
