The Maynard Family Foundation
The Maynard Family Foundation was a private foundation based in Tallmadge, Ohio, that made grants to organizations, with 2022 awards directed entirely to Ohio recipients. Its 2022 filing was marked as its final return: the foundation transferred its assets to a newly formed Ohio nonprofit corporation under the same name and purpose, and final cash distribution occurred in December 2022. The foundation therefore appears to have wound down as a grantmaking entity; the filing does not establish the current grantmaking status of the new corporation.
