About Aaron & Rachel Meyer Memorial Foundation
The Aaron & Rachel Meyer Memorial Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on health-related support, with a particularly large, multi-grant relationship funding the general operations of a single hospital. A much smaller portion of funding has gone to a law-enforcement-related organization, suggesting occasional support for public safety or police-affiliated groups. Overall the foundation favors a small number of substantial awards rather than many modest gifts.
Focus Areas
Hospital general operating support (major unrestricted grants to a single hospital)Health care institution sustainability and capacityPolice/law enforcement association support (local PBA)
Giving Approach
Highly concentrated giving: the vast majority of dollars are delivered in several large grants to one core grantee (hospital), with a single secondary, smaller grant to a police union; few total grants and limited diversification.

About Aaron & Rachel Meyer Memorial Foundation
Aaron & Rachel Meyer Memorial Foundation gives through a small number of large awards, with its clearest pattern centered on Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Three of the foundation’s recent top grants went to that hospital for general operating support, including two grants of $150,000 and a third award at the same level in the recent-grants list. That repeated backing points to a funder that favors sustained institutional support over broad distribution. The foundation also extends funding to local public safety organizations in New Jersey. Recent grants include support for Wyckoff Pba Local 261 and Franklin Lakes Pba Local 150, both in North Jersey communities. Across its active programs, the foundation describes a regional focus on improving quality of life for people and animals through health, human services, animal welfare, community services, and public safety. Its giving pattern shows a preference for substantial, often unrestricted or core support, with project-specific grants appearing alongside general operating awards. The overall portfolio is narrow, local, and concentrated in New Jersey institutions and community organizations.
What Aaron & Rachel Meyer Memorial Foundation Funds
Health-related giving is the foundation’s main theme, anchored by repeated general operating support for Valley Hospital in Ridgewood. That hospital relationship appears multiple times in the recent grant list at $150,000 per award, making health care institution sustainability a clear priority. Public safety is another visible area. The foundation gave $65,099 to Wyckoff Pba Local 261 for program support, and it also supported Franklin Lakes Pba Local 150 with a $5,500 grant for program support. The foundation’s active program descriptions also point to animal welfare, education, research, and human services as eligible areas. In practice, the recent grants provided show the strongest activity in healthcare and local public safety rather than a broad mix of causes.
How Aaron & Rachel Meyer Memorial Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is highly clustered at the top end: p25 is $8,400, median is $150,000, and p75 is $150,000. That distribution reflects a model built around a few substantial awards rather than many small ones. The recent-grants list also shows repeat funding to the same hospital across multiple years, alongside support for local public-safety groups. The foundation’s active programs include unsolicited grant requests, and its philosophy tags point to general operating, program, unrestricted, and project-specific support.
