The Weissman Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish education and communal institutions, with a strong local tilt toward prominent Westchester-area organizations. The foundation makes a few substantial gifts to established institutions (notably a large commitment to a Jewish day school) and also supports Jewish philanthropy capacity, Israel-focused projects, and occasional local health-care providers. Its giving favors established nonprofits over many small grassroots grants.
A $210,000 grant to The Leffell School in White Plains is the clearest marker of the Alan and Giselle Weissman Family Foundation Inc’s priorities. That gift sits at the top of a pattern built around Jewish education, Jewish communal institutions, and established organizations in Westchester and New York City. The foundation also returned to The Center for Entrepreneurial Jewish Philanthropy with multiple grants across 2023 through 2025, suggesting ongoing support for Jewish philanthropy infrastructure rather than isolated project funding. Their giving reaches beyond schools and federation work to include hospitals, burial services, and select Israel-related organizations. White Plains Hospital Center, Saint Joseph’s Medical Center, Hebrew Free Burial Association, Friends of the IDF, and Jewish National Fund all appear in the recent-grants list, showing a mix of local civic support and Jewish communal giving. The profile is regional, with most grants landing in New York, and the grant record is dominated by recurring support to nonprofits that already play established roles in the communities they serve.
Jewish education is a core theme. The foundation gave $210,000 to The Leffell School for its charitable purposes, and it later added another $3,600 to the same school in 2025. Jewish philanthropy infrastructure is another recurring thread. It awarded $42,000 in 2024, $20,000 in 2023, and $23,000 in 2025 to The Center for Entrepreneurial Jewish Philanthropy. Community federation work also appears repeatedly. Uja Federation received $16,600 in 2023, $15,300 in 2024, and $26,575 in 2025. The foundation also supports health and communal services, including $25,000 to White Plains Hospital Center and $10,510 to Saint Joseph’s Medical Center.
Typical grants are modest, even though the portfolio includes a few larger commitments: the 25th percentile is $430, the median is $1,000, and the 75th percentile is $13,000. That spread suggests a base of smaller awards with a limited number of larger institutional gifts. The recent record also shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including The Center for Entrepreneurial Jewish Philanthropy, Uja Federation, The Jewish Education Project, and JCC Mid Westchester. The foundation appears to operate as a family foundation making flexible-purpose grants, and the purpose language in the record is broad: “to further its charitable purposes.”

Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a small number of established institutions; a single very large award dominates total giving, with other mid-size gifts to aligned Jewish and local health organizations rather than many small, diverse grants.
Notable grantees: The Leffell School, The Center for Entrepreneurial (Jewish Philanthropy), UJA Federation, White Plains Hospital Center, Jewish National Fund
Giving is concentrated in New York, which accounts for 67% of grants and is the top state by grant count. Recipient locations cluster in White Plains, New Rochelle, New York City, Mamaroneck, Yonkers, and Scarsdale, with additional grants in Hartsdale and Hamilton. Outside New York, the recent-grants list includes one recipient in Litchfield, Connecticut and one in Denver, Colorado. The record is entirely U.S.-based, with 69 grants to U.S. recipients.
The recent grants show support for Jewish education, Jewish philanthropic infrastructure, federation and communal services, health care institutions, burial services, and some Israel-related work. Named recipients include schools, federations, hospitals, and Jewish communal organizations, with broad-purpose grant language throughout.
Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including The Center for Entrepreneurial Jewish Philanthropy in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Uja Federation in 2023, 2024, and 2025; The Jewish Education Project in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and JCC Mid Westchester in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The grant-size distribution is $430 at the 25th percentile, $1,000 at the median, and $13,000 at the 75th percentile. That points to many small grants, with a smaller number of larger institutional awards reaching well above the median.
Most grants go to New York recipients, which account for 67% of the foundation’s grants. Recent recipient cities include White Plains, New Rochelle, New York City, Mamaroneck, Yonkers, and Scarsdale.
The recent-grants list uses broad unrestricted language, with awards described as being made “to further its charitable purposes.” The record does not show separate application instructions or narrower project-specific terms in the listed grants.
