Golden Dome Foundation concentrates its philanthropic dollars on local healthcare capital and scholarship support, using large installment pledges to fund named facilities and medical scholarships in New Jersey. Nearly all reported giving is directed to the Meridian/Meriden health philanthropy for the Dr. Robert H. Harris Emergency Care Center at Bayshore Medical Center and related scholarships at Ocean Medical Center, indicating a strong place-based, healthcare-oriented priority and a preference for high-impact, naming-level gifts.
Golden Dome Foundation Inc’s recent giving is anchored by a multi-million-dollar installment pledge tied to the Dr. Robert H. Harris Emergency Care Center at Bayshore Medical Center and the Dr. Robert H. Harris Scholarship at Ocean Medical Center. That recurring health partnership signals a clear preference for capital support and workforce-linked scholarship funding rather than a wide scatter of small awards. The foundation’s largest reported gifts also show the same pattern at scale: $8,649,285 in 2025 and $5,359,286 in 2023 went to Meridian Health Foundation Inc and Meriden Health Foundation for the same emergency-care and scholarship purposes. Those grants dominate the record and indicate a long-running relationship with the Meridian health philanthropy network. Beyond hospital philanthropy, Golden Dome Foundation Inc has also backed a small set of place-based community institutions in New Jersey, including a health center, a Catholic school, and a cultural venue. It also appears in animal welfare and therapy-related giving through support for organizations serving senior dogs, pet owners facing veterinary costs, and community therapy programs. The overall profile is local, tightly focused, and strongly linked to named facilities and services in coastal New Jersey.
Healthcare capital support is the clearest cause area in the grant record. In 2024, Golden Dome Foundation Inc gave $500,000 to Parker Family Health Center in Red Bank for charitable donation support, adding to its broader local health orientation. Medical scholarships are another explicit thread. The foundation gave $50,000 to Breast Intensions Inc in Middletown to help individuals and families diagnosed with or treated for cancer, and its largest health-system pledge also includes scholarship support at Ocean Medical Center. Animal welfare appears in several forms. It gave $50,000 to Save US Pets Foundation in Tinton Falls to help pet owners who cannot afford medical treatment for their pets, and $170,000 to Special Needs Dobermans in Aztec for senior and special-needs Doberman Pinschers. The foundation also supported therapeutic animal programming through Allaire Community Farm in Wall Township, which focuses on rescuing animals, training special-needs people, and equine and animal therapy for people with special needs, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Highly concentrated: very few, very large installment pledges to one regional health system; repeat funding to the same philanthropic arm of the hospital system rather than many small or diversified grantees.
Notable grantees: Meridian Health Foundation, Inc. (primary recipient of installment pledges), Bayshore Medical Center (beneficiary — Dr. Robert H. Harris Emergency Care Center), Ocean Medical Center (beneficiary — Dr. Robert H. Harris Scholarship)
Typical grant size is $23,750 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $354,015 at the 75th percentile, which reflects a mix of smaller community gifts and much larger installment pledges. The record also includes repeated awards to the same health-system recipient across 2023, 2024, and 2025, showing a multi-year giving pattern rather than isolated one-time support. Golden Dome Foundation Inc is a foundation grantmaker, and the data indicates it funds individuals. No application process is stated in the provided record.
Golden Dome Foundation Inc gives overwhelmingly in New Jersey: 90% of grants go to recipients in its HQ state, and the listed geographic scope is local. Wall, Neptune, Red Bank, Middletown, Lincroft, Point Pleasant Beach, Tinton Falls, and Upper Freehold all appear among recipient locations. The only non-New Jersey recipient in the recent grants list is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in New York, and the only other out-of-state grant shown is Special Needs Dobermans in Aztec, New Mexico.
The strongest pattern is local healthcare philanthropy in New Jersey, especially a multi-year installment pledge for the Dr. Robert H. Harris Emergency Care Center at Bayshore Medical Center and the Dr. Robert H. Harris Scholarship at Ocean Medical Center. The grant list also includes health centers, medical support, and related community giving.
The grant-size profile centers on a median of $50,000, with a 25th percentile of $23,750 and a 75th percentile of $354,015. That range reflects both smaller community awards and large installment pledges tied to health infrastructure and scholarship support.
