The Elbaz Family Foundation concentrates its giving in a small number of large, mission-driven gifts that support technical public goods and health services. Recent grants show a clear willingness to fund infrastructure-style organizations — open web data platforms — as well as direct patient-facing health service providers. Funding is national in scope rather than locally targeted and is provided as sizable, program-focused support.
A $2 million grant to Clarest Health stands out in the Elbaz Family Foundation’s recent record, because it pairs a very large health-services award with repeated support for open web infrastructure. The foundation has funded Clarest Health for patient-focused pharmacy services and medication management, while also backing Commoncrawl Foundation three times for an open repository of web crawl data that can be accessed and analyzed by anyone. That combination points to a funder comfortable supporting both direct service delivery and the technical systems that make public data usable. Recent grants also show a broad but specific interest in mission-driven work: humanistic studies at Claremont McKenna College, Jewish education at Temple Beth AmPressman Academy, reproductive health care at Planned Parenthood Federation of Am, anti-Semitism prevention at the Anti-Defamation League, and homelessness work through Better Angels. The foundation’s funding is national in scope, but its recent grants cluster heavily in California and often go to organizations rooted in Los Angeles. Across the record, the Elbaz Family Foundation appears to favor sizable, program-focused grants rather than many small awards.
The Elbaz Family Foundation supports open web infrastructure through multiple grants to Commoncrawl Foundation. In 2024 and 2025, it gave $500,000 each year, following a $450,000 grant in 2023, all for building and maintaining an open repository of web crawl data. It also funds patient-centered health services. In 2024, Clarest Health received $2,000,000 to support patient health through high-quality pharmacy services and medication management. The foundation has also backed Planned Parenthood Federation of Am with $100,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for reproductive health care and sexuality education. Other recent grants point to education and civic life. Claremont McKenna College received $370,000 in 2025 and $150,000 in both 2024 and 2023 for humanistic studies, while Temple Beth AmPressman Academy received $325,000 in 2025, $200,000 in 2024, and $250,000 in 2023 to develop minds, nurture hearts, and instill Jewish values.
Typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $63,750 at the 75th percentile, but the recent record includes several awards well above that range. The foundation has made repeated grants to the same organizations across multiple years, including Commoncrawl Foundation, Claremont McKenna College, Temple Beth AmPressman Academy, California Community Foundation, LA-Techorg, Planned Parenthood Federation of Am, and XPRIZE Foundation. That pattern suggests ongoing program support rather than one-time gifts. It is classified as a Regular Funder, funds individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The record shown does not indicate an application process.

Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a very small set of organizations with evidence of repeat support (multiple grants to CommonCrawl). Grants are large and programmatic rather than many small awards, indicating preference for sustained, impactful investments in infrastructure and service delivery.
