The Arlette & William J Coleman Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a small set of recurring recipients, with large general-support grants to a university business school, a Jewish/Israel-focused education organization, and a regional hospital. Their grants suggest donor interests in higher-education commerce programs, Orthodox Jewish/Israel philanthropy, and local healthcare institutions. Funding is directed as unrestricted support rather than project-specific gifts, indicating trust in established institutions the donors know well.
Concentrated and repeat-focused: a small number of mid-to-large general-support grants to a few favored organizations (multiple grants to the same grantees), rather than many one-off or small awards.
Arlette & William J Coleman Family Foundation Inc gives its largest recent grants as general support, led by repeated $50,000 awards to Mcintire School of Commerce in Charlottesville. That pattern shows a funder that backs established institutions over time, with similar recurring support also going to Boys Town Jerusalem Foundation of America Inc and Valley Hospital. The grants are not framed as short-term project funding; the foundation repeatedly uses unrestricted support for schools, healthcare institutions, and community organizations. Across the recent grant list, the foundation’s giving reaches higher education, Orthodox Jewish and Israel-focused education, regional healthcare, and selected local nonprofit causes. The range includes larger institutional grants and smaller recurring gifts, suggesting a portfolio built around a few long-standing priorities rather than a broad application-driven program. Duke University appears with multiple grants, and several other recipients return across years, reinforcing the relationship-based pattern visible in the data. The foundation’s structure also shows that it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments, keeping its activity centered on organizational grantmaking.
In undergraduate commerce and business education, the foundation gave $50,000 in 2025 to Mcintire School of Commerce for general support, following $50,000 in 2024 and $40,000 in 2023. That sequence points to a sustained institutional commitment. Orthodox Jewish and Israel-focused education is another clear thread. Boys Town Jerusalem Foundation of America Inc received $30,000 in 2025, after the same amount in both 2024 and 2023, all listed as general support. Healthcare also appears in the recent record. Valley Hospital in Ridgewood received $20,000 in both 2024 and 2025, while The Valley Hospital Foundation received $10,000 in 2023. The foundation also supported Duke University with $10,000 grants in 2024 and 2025, again as general support, showing a second higher-education relationship beyond the business-school pattern.
Typical grants cluster in the midrange: p25 is $3,250, median is $5,000, and p75 is $15,000. The recent list shows repeated gifts to the same organizations over multiple years, especially at the top end, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation is a family foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. All listed awards are general support, indicating a preference for unrestricted operating-style grants.
