Donor-Advised Fund

The Grifo Family Fund 

The Grifo Family Fund is a donor-advised fund established in 2016 with the purpose of providing grants to nonprofit programs and organizations for the betterment of the Easton community.  The funding was provided by Judge Antonia Grifo, Dr. Francesca Grifo and Carla Grifo Gunn, daughters of prominent community members, Judge Richard and Lee T. Grifo of Easton, Pennsylvania and granddaughters of Antonio and Biagia Grifo and Antonio and Crocefissa Geraci, who emigrated to Easton from Sommatino, Sicily in 1913.

The late Judge Richard Grifo was a Lafayette College and University of Pennsylvania Law School graduate, an attorney in Easton, a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Northampton County, and an influential member of the community serving on numerous Boards.  The late Lee T. Grifo was a lover of the arts and an avid philanthropist and fundraiser, serving on Boards into her 90’s. 

Antonia Grifo is an attorney and retired Magisterial District Judge in Easton, Pennsylvania.   Dr. Francesca Grifo works in Washington D.C. as a Scientific Integrity Officer for the Environmental Protection Agency, the agency charged with protecting human health and the environment.  Carla Grifo Gunn is Finance Manager and Advisor to Lawn & Garden at independent, employee-owned AW Brown’s Pet & Garden Center, and resides with her family in Massachusetts.  They have all served their communities and are proud to follow the philanthropic example of their late parents, to set an example for their children and grandchildren and to provide an opportunity for them and their families to support social services, the environment and the arts in the Easton community.
