The Frank & Roslyn Grobman Foundation directs its charitable giving exclusively to Jewish communal causes, channeling support through the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County. All recorded grants (three gifts totaling $58,000) were made to the local federation, indicating a preference for supporting broad community services and infrastructure via a central Jewish communal institution. The foundation appears focused on local, Jewish-focused philanthropy rather than making diversified or national grants.
Highly concentrated: repeated, sole support to a single local Jewish federation (three grants totaling $58,000), favoring targeted local impact via a central communal organization rather than many small, diverse grantees.
The Frank & Roslyn Grobman Foundation C/o Richard Grobman has made Jewish communal philanthropy its most visible line of giving, with repeated support to the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern points to a funder that favors a central Jewish institution rather than spreading gifts across many recipients. The foundation’s recent record also shows a broader set of charitable grants alongside that core commitment. Doctors Without Borders, UJA Federation, the American Red Cross, Planned Parenthood, Jewish National Fund, and the Coalition for Homeless each appear among the larger recipients in the file. Those grants suggest support for both Jewish communal infrastructure and selected health, humanitarian, and social-service organizations. Grant sizes in the record range from smaller checks to repeated five-figure gifts, with the largest listed awards going to the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County. The foundation’s giving is highly concentrated: the same federation appears across multiple years, and the recent-grants file shows a local, institution-centered approach rather than a wide roster of one-time grantees.
Jewish communal support is the clearest thread in the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it gave $20,000 to the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, and it also supported UJA Federation with $10,000 in 2025 and $9,500 in 2023. Those grants place federated Jewish philanthropy at the center of the foundation’s grantmaking. Outside that core area, the foundation has also funded health and humanitarian organizations. It gave $11,000 to Doctors Without Borders in 2024 and another $11,000 to Doctors Without Borders USA in 2025. In 2025, it made $5,000 grants to Mercy Ships and Partners in Health, both of which fit a medical-aid and global-health pattern. The file also includes social-service and civil-liberties grants, such as $5,000 to the Coalition for Homeless in 2025 and $7,000 to the American Civil Liberties Union in 2025. Public-health advocacy appears as well through a $4,500 grant to the Guttmacher Institute in 2024.
Typical grants are modest in size, with a p25 of $500, a median of $1,000, and a p75 of $2,500. The recent-grants list also includes repeated five-figure awards, but most grants cluster well below that level. The pattern is clearly recurring rather than one-off: the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and UJA Federation, the American Red Cross, Jewish National Fund, Coalition for Homeless, Fisher House Foundation, Planned Parenthood, and Partners in Health also recur across multiple years. The foundation is an independent private foundation, not a grantmaker to individuals, and it does not make program-related investments.
