THE GRASS FAMILY FOUNDATION
To raise awareness and funding for epilepsy research and treatments for anxiety and depression while creating sustainable social-enterprise employment opportunities for teenagers, young adults, and adults who are Neurodivergent or have Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD).
About THE GRASS FAMILY FOUNDATION
The Grass Family Foundation’s official website describes a two-part mission: (1) raise funds and awareness for epilepsy research and for anxiety/depression treatment and (2) create employment opportunities for Neurodivergent and IDD individuals through a social-enterprise model. The site identifies Pop’s Pizza, Sandwiches & Wings as a nonprofit restaurant concept supported by the Foundation that focuses on hiring and training Neurodivergent and IDD staff.
The Foundation’s web presence (grassfamilyfoundation.org) states it is a registered 501(c)(3) and solicits tax-deductible donations; however, during this review I was unable to locate a public IRS record that matches the provided EIN (99-0444989). The organization’s own site and its affiliated Pop’s Pizza site reflect active fundraising and operational activity in recent years (site content dated 2023–2025).
