About Access Capital Foundation
Repeated general-support grants to Horace Mann School and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute show how Access Capital Foundation works: sustained, relationship-based funding rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s recent giving also includes sizeable support for Children's Museum of Manhattan and Albert Einstein College of Medicine, placing education, biomedical research, and cultural learning at the center of its portfolio. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is not project-specific, but broad operating support to organizations that can use funds flexibly. Access Capital Foundation’s portfolio reaches beyond those anchor institutions. It also supports the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Barrow Street Nursery School, The Monroe Foundation, and JDC, which broadens the picture to include historical memory, early childhood education, community organizations, and Jewish communal work. Grants in the recent file are often repeated across years and, in some cases, within the same year, suggesting ongoing ties to selected nonprofits. The foundation’s active program description likewise points to healthcare, education, social welfare, arts, and community health, aligning with the mix visible in recent awards.
