What is it

Added in 2014, our Family Giving Grants Program is meant to fulfill the passions of our family members.  It is meant to act as a philanthropic driver for family member and next generation involvement while simultaneously passing on our family legacy, values, and the giving spirit of our founder, Bee Sinton.  Most importantly, it is meant to provide an outlet for family members to become better connected to their communities by serving as the boots on the ground for Moniker Foundation and its Board. By understanding that each family unit is unique in their values and passions, we can provide the space and process for family members to explore the world of giving back.

How it works

The Wicks-Sinton family is currently composed of nearly 50 individual family members across four generations.  The family members are in turn broken down in to 21 family units.  For our 2016 Program, each family unit will be gifted $2,000 per year to award to a nonprofit organization of their choice.
