“You never know how far even the most humble contribution will go to someone else’s well-being.”
The Mildred & Gladys Tomiak Foundation contributes to the well-being of the elderly of New York and Florida through responsive grantmaking for senior services and civic flourishing. Our humanitarian relief efforts are global in scope and help those in need around the world.
Who We Are
The Tomiak Foundation took root in New York, the home of retiree sisters Gladys “Stephanie” and Mildred Tomiak. The sisters wanted to participate in an effort to make the world a better place, which led to the birth of the Tomiak Foundation.
Since the Foundation’s inception in 2016, we have provided grants to many non-profit, humanitarian organizations across the United States. The various charters for these organizations include cancer research, fighting hunger, children’s education, veterans assistance, Ukrainian wartime relief, community outreach and betterment, services for the elderly and other social service programs.
Who We’ve Helped
Since 2018, the Tomiak Foundation has awarded over $650,000 in grants to non-profit humanitarian foundations, including the outstanding organizations below.
