The Edward & Blossom Leibowitz Family Foundation concentrates its giving in large, targeted gifts to health care and Jewish/Israel-focused organizations. With only four grants totaling $843,000, the foundation favors major institutional partners — notably a substantial gift to a medical center and several significant contributions to Jewish communal and Israel-support organizations. Their giving signals priority for institutional/general support rather than small project grants.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving to a very small number of institutional grantees — one major health-sector beneficiary and several sizable gifts to Jewish/Israel organizations rather than many small or grassroots grants.
A $500,000 grant to Mount Sinai Medical Centers Irma & Norman Bramman in Miami was the foundation’s largest recent gift, and it captures the pattern that runs through Edward & Blossom Leibowitz Family Foundation Inc.’s giving: large, targeted support for health care and Jewish communal institutions. The foundation’s recent grants include major awards to medical, Jewish federation, anti-defamation, and Israel-related organizations, alongside smaller gifts to select cultural and community groups. Several recipients appear more than once across 2023 to 2025, suggesting a continued relationship with some grantees rather than one-time support. The mix of recipients ranges from a regional medical center to national Jewish agencies and local community institutions. In the Jewish sphere, the foundation has backed organizations connected to Jewish communal infrastructure, Israel advocacy and support, Holocaust remembrance, and campus or local federation work. It has also made grants to organizations outside that core area, including a women’s shelter, a medical debt relief organization, and arts and education institutions. The recurring use of general purpose and general support language indicates flexibility in how funds can be used.
Health care is one clear theme. The foundation gave $500,000 to Mount Sinai Medical Centers Irma & Norman Bramman for general purpose, the largest single grant in the recent list. Jewish communal infrastructure is another major area. Grants include $93,000 and $89,000 to Greater Miami Jewish Federation for general support and general purpose, plus $70,000 to Tampa Jewish Community Centers & Federation for general support. Israel-related and Jewish advocacy organizations also appear in the record. The foundation awarded $100,000 to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces for general support and $150,000 to Jewish Agency for Israel North American Council for general support. Beyond those core areas, it also made a $50,000 grant to Lotus House Womens Shelter for general support and a $50,000 grant to RIP Undue Medical Debt for general purpose, showing some breadth in community-oriented giving.
Typical gifts cluster in the five-figure range: the p25 is $10,000, median grant size is $11,800, and p75 is $25,000. The recent record also includes a much larger upper tier, including six-figure awards and one $500,000 grant. The foundation’s filings show repeated support to several organizations across multiple years, including Greater Miami Jewish Federation, Anti Defamation League (ADL), Lotus House Womens Shelter, Chatauqua/Chautauqua Foundation, and Temple Beth AM. Grant descriptions frequently use general purpose, general, or general support language, which points to flexible funding rather than narrowly restricted project grants. The foundation is a private family foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
