About Harri Hoffmann Family Foundation
Harri Hoffmann Family Foundation Inc. has built its grantmaking around Orthodox Jewish religious education in Wisconsin, with repeated support for intensive Torah study and yeshiva-style programming. The largest recent award in the dataset was $225,000 in 2025 to Wisconsin Institute for Torah Study in Milwaukee for program support, following $200,000 in 2024 and $180,000 in 2023 to the same institution. That three-year pattern signals a sustained relationship rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s other large grants show a similar emphasis on Jewish learning and community institutions. It gave $72,500 in 2023 to Lake Park Synagogue in Milwaukee, and later issued another grant to the same organization in 2024 and 2025. It also supported Ohr Hatorah Inc in Glendale and Yeshiva Elementary School in Milwaukee across multiple years. The record points to a funder that concentrates on a narrow set of educational and religious organizations, with grants structured for one-year use and directed to specific program needs.
What Harri Hoffmann Family Foundation Funds
A central theme in the foundation’s giving is Jewish education. Beyond the main Torah study institution, it supported Yeshiva Elementary School in Milwaukee with $35,000 in 2025 and $30,000 in 2024, both for program support, plus an earlier $30,000 education support grant in 2023. Community institutions also receive funding. The foundation gave $98,000 in 2024 to Milwaukee Jewish Federation Inc and $60,000 in 2025 for program support, indicating repeated backing for umbrella Jewish community work. Its grants extend to campus and congregational settings as well. Uw Hillel in Madison received $45,000 in 2025 and $35,000 in 2024, while L'chaim Chavurot Northshore Inc in Milwaukee received $40,000 in 2025 after earlier grants of $30,000 in 2024 and 2023. These awards show support for student life and local Jewish community programming.
How Harri Hoffmann Family Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is modest and tightly clustered: p25 is $10,000, the median is $12,000, and p75 is $20,000. The recent grants list also shows repeated awards to the same organizations over multiple years, especially in Milwaukee, which suggests an ongoing, relationship-based pattern rather than one-off giving. The foundation is a family foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its active grant program offers one-year grants and accepts unsolicited requests.
