Nej believes it is important to give back to the community and has established The Nej, Inc. and Mascolo Family Foundation, Inc. for the benefit of underprivileged children. The mission of the foundation is to help children reach their greatest potential through grass roots programs that focus on education, personal growth and athletics. Our motto is “Kids Inspired to Succeed®.” Through this foundation Nej and other contributors have provided assistance to elementary schools to support the enrichment of their students.

Recent accomplishments as a foundation have been with Woodrow Wilson Elementary school in Waterbury, CT. Nej renovated a classroom, equipped it with state of the art learning tools, implemented a curriculum to touch the total student body, and renovated their gymnasium.
