Maris Foundation
The Maris Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization headquartered in Bridgehampton, New York[1]. Established as a nonprofit entity, its federal employer identification number (EIN) is 208493886[1]. While specific operational details and programmatic focuses are not publicly disclosed in available filings, tax records indicate the foundation reported annual revenues of approximately $6,950 to $20,000 and maintained assets ranging between $100,000 and $123,000 in recent fiscal periods[2].

Publicly accessible documentation through Charity Navigator and ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer does not detail specific initiatives, leadership, or beneficiary demographics[1][2]. The organization’s web presence (marischildren.org) could not be independently verified through available records.

Note: Disambiguation is advised, as Maris Foundation (EIN 39-6647866), a separate entity based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, has been active since 1997[3]. Further clarification is required to avoid conflation with similarly named organizations, including marine-data-focused entities like MARIS BV in the Netherlands[4] and cancer-support charity Marisa’s Mission in Massachusetts[5].
