The Eva and Howard Nacht Foundation appears to make selective, relatively large one-off grants focused on cultural programming. Its only recorded grant is a $64,000 contribution supporting a concert through the King Baudouin Foundation US, suggesting interest in underwriting performing arts and possibly transatlantic cultural exchange via intermediary foundations.
Highly concentrated and infrequent — a single sizable grant routed through an intermediary organization rather than many small awards; no evidence of repeat grantees or broad diversification.
A $64,000 concert grant to King Baudouin Foundation US stands out as the clearest marker of the Eva and Howard Nacht Foundation’s giving: it used an intermediary foundation to support performing arts programming. Beyond that one-time concert award, the foundation has continued with general support grants across a small set of nonprofits, including multi-year support for Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation and repeated awards to King Baudouin Foundation US in later years. The pattern suggests a donor that combines cultural funding with steady support for selected organizations rather than broad, high-volume grantmaking. The recent record also shows a mix of arts, community, education, and health-related recipients. Grants have gone to American Friends of Cite du Vin, Temple Beth Shalom, Brooklyn Law School, Hands in 4 Youth, and St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, with most awards in the $5,000 to $20,000 range and several recurring across 2023 through 2025. The foundation’s portfolio reads as selective and relationship-driven, with New York appearing frequently among recipient locations.
Performing arts and cultural programming appear in the foundation’s largest recent award: $64,000 to King Baudouin Foundation US for a concert grant. That grant also points to the use of an intermediary foundation in delivering support for cultural events. General support is a recurring format elsewhere in the record. The foundation gave $12,000 to American Friends of Cite du Vin for general support in 2025, and it made repeated general-support grants to Temple Beth Shalom in 2024 and 2025. Education and youth-oriented work also appears in the recent grants list. Hands in 4 Youth received $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025, while Brooklyn Law School received $10,000 in 2023 and 2024 and $7,500 in 2025. Health-related funding includes $6,000 grants to St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in 2024 and 2025.
The foundation’s typical grant size is compact: the 25th percentile is $4,000, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $6,000. Most recent awards cluster near that range, even though a few grants are larger. The record also shows repetition rather than one-off giving. Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and several other recipients return across multiple years as well. Grants are generally listed as general support, with one concert grant and multiple unrestricted awards. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
