The Anthony E Meyer Family Foundation concentrates its giving on education, cultural institutions, and Jewish heritage, with a clear New York City orientation alongside support for a few national players. Grants skew toward elite academic programs and museums (both STEM and Jewish history), occasional support for K–12 arts/music programs, and a single grant to an ideologically oriented online education group. The foundation makes relatively few but sizable grants and repeats support to flagship beneficiaries.
A large 2025 grant to Macaulay Honors College Foundation signals the Anthony E Meyer Family Foundation Inc’s emphasis on elite undergraduate opportunity. The foundation’s recent giving mixes higher-education support with museums, school-based arts and music, and Jewish heritage institutions, while also including a grant to Prager University Foundation. That combination points to a portfolio centered on institutions rather than individuals, with support flowing to programs that are public-facing or academically selective. The largest grant in the recent list went to Macaulay Honors College Foundation, followed by a substantial award to Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History. Other grants reached The Dalton School, The Museum of Mathematics, President and Fellows of Harvard College, Young Peoples Chorus of New York City Inc, and Gifted Music School. The pattern suggests a foundation that gives relatively few grants, but each one is meaningful in size. Its portfolio also shows repeat support for Macaulay Honors College Foundation, indicating ongoing backing for at least one flagship beneficiary. Most giving lands in New York, with a narrower set of awards extending to other U.S. institutions.
Education is a central theme in the foundation’s recent grants. In 2025, it gave $153,664 to Macaulay Honors College Foundation for charitable purposes, and it also awarded $10,000 to President and Fellows of Harvard College. Those two grants show support for undergraduate institutions, including selective academic environments. The foundation also funds cultural and heritage institutions. It granted $120,000 to Weitzman National Museum of American Jewish History, and $10,000 to The Museum of Mathematics, indicating interest in museums that present history or STEM content to the public. A third thread is youth arts and music in New York City. Grants included $15,000 to The Dalton School and $5,000 to Young Peoples Chorus of New York City Inc, both of which fit a pattern of support for education-linked arts programming.
The typical grant size in the recent data is tightly clustered: p25, median, and p75 are all $21,000. That reflects a narrow range even though the listed grants include both a $153,664 award and smaller five-figure gifts. The foundation appears to use direct charitable grants rather than program-related investments, and it does not fund individuals. The recent list also suggests some repeat support. Macaulay Honors College Foundation appears in both 2025 and 2023, which points to ongoing relationship-based funding rather than one-off awards only. The portfolio is small and concentrated, with a few larger awards anchoring the year and several smaller grants rounding out the rest.
