Community Development
& Social Services

Through this foundation, the Frankino family desires to share God’s blessing by a commitment to philanthropic excellence.

Building Bridges in Community

The Sam J. Frankino Foundation is guided by a deep commitment to compassion and service, supporting individuals and families in need as they work toward stable, meaningful, and fulfilling lives. We prioritize grants that strengthen our local community by providing essential care, resources, and support to those facing hardship or vulnerability.

The Foundation supports organizations that serve individuals experiencing poverty or homelessness, as well as those responding to moments of crisis, including natural disasters and other unforeseen emergencies. We also continue our longstanding support of organizations that care for children and adults living with physical or developmental disabilities and those addressing mental health needs.

In addition, the Foundation honors and supports our nation’s veterans. Sam J. Frankino served as a sergeant in the United States Army, and his service reflects the courage and sacrifice of all who have defended our freedoms. We are proud to give back to organizations that serve veterans and their families.
