The Bronstein Family Foundation concentrates its giving on child-centered health and safety causes, primarily funding a single pediatric therapeutic charity and a national nonprofit focused on online safety. Grants are large and directed: most dollars go to a small number of organizations providing programmatic support rather than many small awards. The foundation appears to prioritize direct impact for children’s wellbeing both offline (medical/therapeutic support) and online (social media safety).
Highly concentrated giving: a small number of large unrestricted grants (multiple large gifts to repeat grantees), split between child health/therapy and public policy/advocacy on social media safety.
Bronstein Family Foundation’s largest recent gifts center on two child-focused lines of work: Kids Kicking Cancer and Org for Social Media Safety. In 2025, the foundation gave $437,500 to Kids Kicking Cancer for general funding and $223,500 to Org for Social Media Safety for general funding, continuing a pattern that ties substantial support to children’s wellbeing both in therapeutic settings and online. The 2024 and 2023 awards to those same groups show that this is not a one-time emphasis. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also appears to use general funding to back mission-driven nonprofits that serve children or families in adjacent ways, including medical, educational, civic, and community organizations. Grantmaking is concentrated rather than broad, with a small set of recipients receiving repeated awards over multiple years. The result is a profile shaped less by one-off project funding than by recurring support for organizations the foundation seems to treat as ongoing partners. That pattern is especially visible in the repeated backing of a pediatric therapeutic charity and a national nonprofit focused on social media safety and reform.
Therapeutic support for children with serious illness is one of the foundation’s clearest giving themes. In 2025, it awarded $437,500 to Kids Kicking Cancer for general funding, after prior grants of $250,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2023. The foundation also funds online safety and mental-health related social media reform through general support to Org for Social Media Safety, which received $223,500 in 2025, $161,000 in 2024, and $100,000 in 2023. Beyond those anchor areas, the recent grants list includes support for youth-oriented sports and community organizations such as Sports Factory Foundation and Hoop Bus, each funded with general grants. Smaller awards also went to civic and faith-based groups, showing a mix of large recurring commitments and modest community grants.
Typical grant size is $8,188 at the 25th percentile, $15,250 at the median, and $93,750 at the 75th percentile. That spread sits alongside a much larger recurring core: the same organizations appear in multiple years, with several general-funding awards repeated from 2023 through 2025. The foundation is a family foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Recent grants lean toward unrestricted or general-purpose support rather than tightly specified projects, and the list suggests a small number of recipients receive a meaningful share of dollars while many other awards remain modest.

Notable grantees: Kids Kicking Cancer, Organization for Social Media Safety
The foundation gives nationally, and every recent grant in the list went to a U.S. recipient. Illinois is the top recipient state by count, with 32% of grants landing there, including recipients in Chicago, Temple Shalom, and Jewish Foundation. Other recurring recipient locations include Washington, DC; Southfield, MI; and West Hills, CA. Smaller grants also reached Venice, CA, Sherman Oaks, CA, Miami Beach, FL, and Bloomfield Hills, MI, showing a broad U.S. footprint rather than a single-region pattern.
Its clearest patterns are child-centered health and safety causes. Recent grants show repeated support for Kids Kicking Cancer for therapeutic programming and for Org for Social Media Safety for online safety and social media reform, both through general funding over multiple years.
It favors recurring support. Both Kids Kicking Cancer and Org for Social Media Safety received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with the same general-funding framing across those years.
The grant-size distribution is $8,188 at the 25th percentile, $15,250 at the median, and $93,750 at the 75th percentile. That indicates a mix of smaller awards and a smaller set of larger grants.
Its grants are national, but 32% of grants go to recipients in Illinois, the highest share by state. Within the recent list, Chicago appears multiple times, alongside other Illinois recipients.
The recent grants are mostly listed as general funding, which points to unrestricted or broad program support rather than tightly restricted project grants. The same pattern appears across its largest awards and smaller community grants.
