The Aaron & Marion Gural Foundation concentrates its giving on a small set of large, mission-driven grants, primarily supporting health-related causes and Jewish community organizations. Major recipients include national maternal/child health work and hospital/health-system support, alongside immigrant/refugee assistance and Jewish communal philanthropy, suggesting the foundation favors established nonprofits with measurable service programs.
Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a small number of repeat and well-established organizations; few grants overall with multiple gifts to the same beneficiaries rather than many small awards.
March of Dimes, UHS Pledge, HIAS, UJA-Federation
A recurring $250,000 grant to March of Dimes appears in both 2023 and 2024, making maternal and infant health one of the clearest through lines in Aaron & Marion Gural Foundation’s recent giving. The foundation also backs health-system and community organizations at a sizable level, including a $125,000 grant to Hias and $100,000 support for Uja - Federation in 2024. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is less about many small awards and more about a compact group of larger commitments to established nonprofits. Jewish communal institutions are a visible part of that mix, alongside health and refugee-related work. The foundation’s recent awards include support for organizations serving New York-based communities and broader national service providers, with grant purposes consistently described as furthering the donee’s exempt purpose. That language, combined with repeated awards to the same organizations, points to a grantmaker that favors straightforward institutional support over tightly defined project funding.
Health-related giving is a major part of the foundation’s portfolio. In 2024, it gave $250,000 to March of Dimes for the second year in a row, and it also awarded $50,000 and then $25,000 to Alzheimer's Foundation of America across 2023 and 2024. Jewish communal philanthropy is another steady theme: Uja - Federation received $100,000 in 2024, while The Jewish Theological Seminary received $10,000 in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation also supports refugee and immigrant assistance, including $125,000 to Hias in 2023. Community-based Jewish services appear as well, with $36,000 to Friends of United Hatzalah and $10,000 to Israel Special Kids Fund, both in New York.
Recent grant sizes cluster around a median of $20,000, with the middle half ranging from $10,000 to $100,000. The pattern is repetitive rather than one-off: March of Dimes, Alzheimer's Foundation of America, Adl New York New Jersey, Uhs Pledge, and The Jewish Theological Seminary each appear in more than one year. That repeat-grant behavior suggests ongoing support for a small set of recipients. The foundation is a private foundation with no program-related investments and does not fund individuals. Its recent grants are described with broad exempt-purpose language, indicating generally unrestricted or general-support style awards rather than highly specific project grants.

New York City dominates the recipient map, with multiple grants to organizations there, including March of Dimes, Hias, Uja - Federation, and Friends of United Hatzalah.
