The Albert B Kahn Foundation concentrates its philanthropic support exclusively on education, with all recorded grants directed to Mercer County Community College (MCCC). Its funding appears focused on strengthening local higher-education services in the Princeton/Mercer County area, likely supporting institutional capacity, student programs or workforce/continuing-education offerings. The foundation is highly concentrated and locally targeted rather than broadly diversified across sectors or geographies.
Very concentrated: all giving goes to a single grantee (MCCC) via multiple grants; modest total annual dollars but repeated support indicates sustained, targeted commitment to one local higher-education institution.
Albert B Kahn Foundation’s grantmaking is defined by a tight institutional core: Mercer County Community College Foundation in Trenton has received the foundation’s three largest recent grants, including two $75,000 awards in 2024 and 2025 and a $67,280 grant in 2023. That pattern makes the college the clearest window into how the foundation gives—steady, repeated support for a single education institution rather than a broad portfolio of programs. Beyond that core relationship, the foundation’s records show a smaller circle of support for colleges, religious institutions, and charitable organizations, all through modest grants relative to the MCCC awards. Recent recipients include Amherst College, Stanford University, Colgate University, Lafayette College, and the University of Pennsylvania, suggesting interest in higher education beyond the local community college relationship. The foundation also appears in grants to faith communities and community-serving nonprofits, including Har Sinai Temple, Temple Beth Elohim, Congregation Emanu El, Habitat for Humanity, Boston Medical Center, and Trenton Area Soup Kitchen. Across the file, the recurring pattern is concentrated, education-centered philanthropy with a primary anchor in Mercer County.
Education is the foundation’s clearest funding lane, and the largest grants all go to Mercer County Community College Foundation in Trenton for educational support. The college appears in multiple years, with $67,280 in 2023 and $75,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Beyond that local anchor, the foundation has also supported Amherst College with a $5,000 grant in 2024 and repeated $2,500 grants to Colgate University and Lafayette College across multiple years. Religious institutions make up another visible segment of the record. Har Sinai Temple in Pennington received $10,780 in 2023, $14,090 in 2024, and $11,270 in 2025, while Temple Beth Elohim in Wellesley received $5,470 in 2023, $4,300 in 2024, and $4,650 in 2025. Community-focused charities also appear, including Boston Medical Center and Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $1,500, and the 75th percentile is $2,500. The distribution is heavily right-skewed because a handful of larger education grants sit well above the typical award size. Recipients do appear across multiple years, most clearly Mercer County Community College Foundation, Har Sinai Temple, Temple Beth Elohim, Colgate University, Lafayette College, Congregation Emanu El, and Boston Medical Center. The foundation is a private foundation rather than a donor-advised fund or operating charity, and it does not make program-related investments. The available records do not show an application process.
