The Weber Foundation concentrates its giving in New York City on a small set of repeat grantees, prioritizing youth mentoring, Jewish education/cultural institutions, and specialty hospital care. Grants are typically unrestricted/general support and often issued as multiple payments to the same organizations, indicating long-term relationships rather than one-off funding. The foundation’s portfolio is compact but sizable per grantee, showing a preference for deep, targeted impact within a few priority organizations.
Concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large grants, frequently repeated to the same core grantees, primarily as unrestricted/general purpose support.
The Charles R & Winifred R Weber Foundation shows a clear pattern of repeat support for a small set of organizations, with Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City receiving three $200,000 grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That recurring commitment sits alongside larger general-purpose gifts to Jewish education and community institutions, including Project Witness in Brooklyn and Mesifta Eitz Chaim in Fallsburg. The foundation’s giving also reaches specialty care, with Calvary Hospital in the Bronx appearing repeatedly across three years. Across the recent grants list, the common thread is broad-purpose funding rather than tightly restricted project support. The portfolio includes youth mentoring, yeshiva education, cultural and heritage programming, and hospital care, suggesting a funder that backs established organizations serving distinct community needs. Several recipients also appear more than once, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. In the recent record, the foundation supports both New York City institutions and nearby communities in New York and New Jersey, with grant sizes that range from modest five-figure awards to six-figure commitments.
Youth mentoring is a visible part of the foundation’s giving. Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City received $200,000 in 2023, $200,000 in 2024, and $200,000 in 2025 for general purposes, making it one of the most consistent beneficiaries in the recent record. Jewish education also appears prominently through grants such as $100,000 to Mesifta Eitz Chaim Inc for general purposes and $50,000 to Yeshiva Sharai Arazim for general purposes. The foundation also backs cultural and heritage work, including $140,000 to Project Witness for general purposes. In health-related giving, Calvary Hospital received $70,000 in 2023, $70,000 in 2024, and $60,000 in 2025, all for general purposes, showing continuing support for specialty hospital care.
Typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $20,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including several three-year sequences, which indicates ongoing relationships rather than one-time grants. The foundation appears to favor general-purpose support, with grants in the list labeled for general purposes. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The overall pattern is compact and relationship-driven, with a mix of mid-sized operating grants and larger commitments to a limited set of recipients.
