About Genuardi Family Foundation
A defining feature of the Genuardi Family Foundation is its repeated support for The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, including grants of $1,160,000 in 2025 and $1,150,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for operational support. That pattern points to a funder that favors sustained institutional backing rather than scattered one-off awards. The same approach appears in its other large gifts, which also center on operational support for organizations rooted in the Philadelphia region and nearby Montgomery County. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs hospitals, human services, faith-based institutions, and community nonprofits. Its giving includes support for Variety - the Children’s Charity of the Delaware Valley, Norristown Zoological Society, Devereux Foundation, and Jefferson Einstein Montgomery Hospital, all through operating support. The foundation also made a major grant to St Patrick’s Church in Norristown, underscoring that its portfolio is not limited to health care. With annual grants of $8,795,000 and a median grant size of $10,000, the foundation combines a few very large institutional awards with many smaller local grants.
What Genuardi Family Foundation Funds
In pediatric health, the foundation backed The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with major operational grants across multiple years, including $1,160,000 in 2025.

The recent grants list also includes $25,000 to Ursinus College, showing that higher education is part of the mix. Faith-based and community-serving institutions are another thread, with grants to St Patrick's Church, The Salvation Army Norristown Corps, and Pottstown Cluster of Religious Communities.
How Genuardi Family Foundation Gives

The recent grants list also shows several much larger awards, which pull the foundation toward a mixed pattern of modest local grants and a small number of sizable institutional commitments. Recipients appear in multiple years, including The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Norristown Zoological Society, Variety - the Children’s Charity of the Delaware Valley, and Saint Joseph's University, indicating recurring support rather than isolated gifts. The foundation operates both invitation-only and open programs: the Major Grant Program is invitation-only, while the Core Grant Program accepts unsolicited applications.
