The Barbara & Gary Brandt Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a single, high-impact sports charity while making smaller targeted gifts to arts and conservation causes. Roughly 84% of recent dollars go to the USTA Foundation, indicating a strong interest in tennis and youth sports development, with secondary support for elite performing-arts education and wildlife conservation. Grantees are a mix of national and New York–based institutions, suggesting both local philanthropic ties and broader programmatic interests.
Highly concentrated funding: few grants overall with a majority of dollars directed to one repeat grantee (three grants to USTA Foundation), supplemented by occasional one‑off gifts to prominent arts and conservation institutions.
The Barbara & Gary Brandt Family Foundation’s recent giving is defined by one institution: the USTA Foundation received $250,000 in 2025, alongside $67,000 in 2024 and $66,200 in 2023. That pattern points to a durable commitment to youth tennis and tennis development, with general support used repeatedly rather than one-time project funding. Beyond that central relationship, the foundation also backs arts education and performance training. Juilliard School received $42,000 in 2023, $22,000 in 2024, and $16,500 in 2025, while Youth America Grand Prix received $23,000 in both 2024 and 2025. The grant list also includes support for the Wildlife Conservation Society, showing that the foundation’s interests extend beyond sports and the performing arts. The mix of grants suggests a small number of closely held priorities, with repeated support for organizations that can use flexible operating dollars. Recent recipients are largely New York–based, with a few grants reaching organizations in other states, including California and Maryland.
Youth tennis is the clearest funding lane. The foundation gave $250,000 to USTA Foundation in 2025 for general support, after giving $67,000 in 2024 and $66,200 in 2023. In performing arts education, Juilliard School received $42,000 in 2023, $22,000 in 2024, and $16,500 in 2025, all as general support. Dance training also appears in the record: Youth America Grand Prix received $23,000 in 2024 and another $23,000 in 2025. Conservation is present through a $31,500 grant to Wildlife Conservation Society in 2023. These gifts are structured as flexible support rather than restricted project awards.
Typical grants are modest relative to the foundation’s largest gift, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $3,000, and a p75 of $10,250. The recent record includes a single large anchor grant and many smaller general-support awards, which suggests a two-tier pattern: a major relationship gift paired with a broader set of operating grants. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, not a DAF or program-related-investment vehicle, and it does not fund individuals. The recent recipient list shows repeat support across multiple years for several organizations, indicating recurring relationships rather than one-off awards.

Notable grantees: USTA Foundation, Juilliard School, Wildlife Conservation Society
Giving is overwhelmingly U.S.-based, with 78 grants to U.S. recipients and no non-U.S. recipient countries in the recent record. New York City is a major hub for awards, alongside White Plains, Larchmont, Rockville, Los Angeles, and Rye. White Plains appears through multiple grants to Usta Foundation, while New York City recurs across arts, health, and Jewish communal organizations. Maryland shows up through Fisher House Foundation Inc in Rockville, and California through University of Southern Callifornia and USC Kaufman in Los Angeles.
Its recent grants cluster around small operating gifts: the p25 is $1,000, the median is $3,000, and the p75 is $10,250. The record also includes a much larger outlier at $250,000, showing a mix of anchor support and smaller awards.
Youth tennis is the most prominent area, led by USTA Foundation support in multiple years. The foundation also backs performing arts education through Juilliard School and Youth America Grand Prix, and it has a conservation grant to Wildlife Conservation Society.
Yes. USTA Foundation appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Juilliard School appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and Youth America Grand Prix appears in 2024 and 2025. That pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated grants.
The grant record is local in scope, and the top state by grant count is Maryland. At the same time, 83% of grants go to recipients in New York, so New York remains the main recipient state in the recent data.
