The Allen and Libby Weingarten Foundation makes modest, targeted grants primarily to local health care institutions, Jewish/Israel-focused organizations, and disability or social service providers. Their giving is pragmatic and charitable in orientation—supporting established nonprofits with operational or general program support rather than experimental projects. Grants are concentrated among a small set of repeat recipients and include both mid-size awards and occasional smaller contributions.
Concentrated portfolio with repeat funding to a few core grantees; mix of several mid-size gifts ($50k–$75k) and multiple smaller gifts under $5k; primarily unrestricted or general support to established nonprofits rather than many one-off new grantees.
A defining feature of the Allen and Libby Weingarten Foundation C/o Aw Properties is its steady support for established charitable organizations, with the largest recent award going to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital for $50,000 in 2024. The foundation’s recent giving also shows repeated backing for Jewish National Fund and Spectrum for Living, pointing to a pattern of practical support for health care, Jewish-affiliated causes, and disability services. Its grants are generally modest in scale rather than large institutional commitments, and the recipients are organized as nonprofit charities rather than individuals or program-related investments. The foundation’s portfolio suggests a preference for organizations that can absorb operating or general charitable support. Grants include funding for hospital-related charitable work, Israel- and environmental-linked Jewish philanthropy, and services for people with disabilities. A smaller grant to Contributions Less Than 5000 in Rancho Santa Fe also appears in the recent record, underscoring that the foundation’s giving is not limited to a single issue area or a single size band. Across the available grant list, the foundation favors direct support to nonprofits that are already established and active in their communities.
Health care is one of the clearest areas in the record. In 2024, the foundation gave $50,000 to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and it had previously given $25,000 to the same organization in 2023, both described as support for another IRC 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Jewish and Israel-related giving also appears in the data. The foundation awarded $30,000 to Jewish National Fund in New York, New York in 2024 and $20,000 in 2023 for the same charitable-support purpose. Disability services are another recurring theme. Spectrum for Living in Edison, New Jersey received $7,000 in 2023 and $5,000 in 2024. The recent grants also include a $8,900 award to Contributions Less Than 5000 in Rancho Santa Fe, California.
Grant size is centered in the mid-five-figure-to-low-five-figure range, with a typical grant size of p25 $7,458, median $14,450, and p75 $26,250. The recent record shows repeat support to the same recipients across 2023 and 2024, which suggests a recurring relationship rather than one-off gifts. The foundation appears to operate as a charitable grantmaker focused on nonprofit organizations, not individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The available data does not indicate an application process, and the grants shown are described as support to other IRC 501(c)(3) charitable organizations.
