The Diane & Howard Wohl Family Foundation focuses its philanthropy almost exclusively on supporting Jewish campus life, directing general-purpose funding to Hillel International. Their grants suggest a priority on sustaining Jewish student engagement and institutional operations rather than project-specific initiatives. The foundation gives to a small number of recipients with repeat support.
Highly concentrated: all recorded giving went to a single national organization (Hillel International) in multiple grants, indicating repeat, unrestricted support rather than many small or diverse grants.
Diane & Howard Wohl Family Foundation Inc has directed its giving around Jewish campus life, with Hillel International receiving the largest recent grant at $84,220 in 2025 for general support. That pattern points to a funder that favors institutional stability over project-specific awards, especially for organizations serving Jewish students and campus communities. The foundation’s recent grants also show repeat support for several recipients, including Paideia US, Hofstra University Hillel, and Schechter School of Long Island, which suggests a steady relationship-based approach rather than one-off gifts. Recent awards range from campus Hillel chapters to Jewish education and identity organizations. Alongside student-facing grants, the foundation has funded groups such as the Jewish Theological Seminary, Project Kesher, and the USC Shoah Foundation Institute for Visual History and Education. The mix shows a preference for general-purpose support across a relatively concentrated set of Jewish institutions. In the latest filing year on record, the foundation continued to fund multiple recipients at the $30,000 level, while also making smaller grants that extend the same theme into education, memory, and community programming.
Jewish campus life is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s giving. Hillel International received $84,220 in 2025 for general support, and separate campus-based Hillel organizations also received funding, including Hofstra University Hillel at $30,000 and Tanger Hillel Brooklyn College at $30,000. Jewish education is another visible theme. The foundation gave $40,000 to Paideia US in 2023 and $30,000 in 2025, both for general-purpose or general support funding. It also supported The Jewish Education Project with $25,000 in 2023 and $6,250 in 2025. The grant list also includes institutional support for Jewish learning and leadership organizations. Jewish Theological Seminary received $20,000 in 2023 and another $20,000 in 2025, while The Schechter Institutes Inc was awarded $28,000 in 2023. These awards indicate consistent support for organizations that help shape Jewish education and community infrastructure.
The foundation’s typical grant size is modest but deliberate: the 25th percentile is $700, the median is $2,500, and the 75th percentile is $6,500. Recent giving also shows several larger operating-style grants in the $30,000 to $84,220 range. The same recipients appear across multiple years, including Hillel International, Paideia US, and Jewish Theological Seminary, which signals repeat support rather than isolated awards. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grants are overwhelmingly general support or general purpose funding.
