Commitment to Community

Miniat has a long history of generosity — stemming from both the Miniat family and the employees who make up Miniat Holdings LLC.

For nearly 50 years we’ve partnered with several non-profit organizations which promote the health and well-being of children, the underserved, and those with special needs.

We strive to make our communities a great place to work and live by keeping our properties well-maintained and building lasting partnerships with our local government.

Hope.
One child at a time.

Our own humble beginnings have taught us that wellbeing, health and education are building blocks to success and that’s why The Miniat Family of Companies support community programs like By The Hand that allow inner city children to lead abundant lives.
