MAXIMUS Foundation Provides Financial Support to Non-Profit Organizations Serving Disadvantaged Populations


MAXIMUS (NYSE:MMS), a leading provider of government services worldwide, announced today that the MAXIMUS Foundation has distributed more than $399,000 in grants to 137 non-profit organizations in 27 states as part of its most recent grant cycle.

The MAXIMUS Foundation is the philanthropic arm of MAXIMUS, providing financial assistance to many of the same disadvantaged populations and local communities that MAXIMUS serves as an operator of health and human services programs. The MAXIMUS Foundation is completely funded by MAXIMUS and its employees, and provides grants to local community organizations with programs and projects in the areas of child and youth development, health and community development.

"We are so impressed with our non-profit grantees who work diligently to empower a variety of people," commented Dr. John Boyer, Chairman of the MAXIMUS Foundation. "This was among the most competitive grant cycles we have seen and we were able to support more grantees than ever before thanks to the giving spirit and financial support of the MAXIMUS team."
