I SEE A FOUNDATION concentrates its giving into a small number of fairly large awards that reflect a mix of international humanitarian work, Jewish/Israel-focused philanthropy, and domestic youth education/engagement. The foundation funds established organizations (both US-based and international) and appears comfortable making six-figure gifts to advance organizational missions rather than tightly restricted program line items. Grants span international health and development, Jewish community/Israel initiatives, and youth enrichment through sports and experiential learning.
I See a Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a mix of large mission support grants across education, Jewish communal life, and international health. One of its largest awards went to National Geographic Society for $200,000 to support the organization’s mission, alongside repeated support for Palliative Care for Uganda, which received $125,000 in 2024 and another $125,000 in 2025. The foundation also backed youth engagement through Play on Philly, giving $85,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025. The pattern suggests a funder that is comfortable making substantial awards to established organizations rather than spreading support across many small gifts. Its portfolio includes palliative and hospice care in Uganda, Jewish and Israel-related initiatives, and educational and enrichment institutions in the United States. Recent grants also reach synagogue and congregational life, camp programs, and college- and school-based learning settings. Several awards are framed simply as support for the organization’s mission, indicating a preference for flexible funding tied to institutional priorities. The foundation’s grants show continuity across multiple years and a willingness to repeat support for the same recipients when they remain part of its funding mix.
In international health and relief, the foundation gave $125,000 in 2025 to Palliative Care for Uganda Inc in Norwalk, Connecticut, matching a $125,000 grant the prior year to Palliative Care for Uganda. It also supported Friends of United Hatzalah with $72,000 in 2024. Jewish and Israel-related philanthropy appears in a $100,000 grant in 2024 to the Jewish Agency for Isreal - North American Council (operation Falcon) in New York. The foundation also gave $10,000 in 2024 to The Friendship Circle in Brooklyn and $10,000 in 2025 to Congregation Rodeph Shalom in Philadelphia. Its education and youth-enrichment grants include $75,000 in 2025 to 826 Boston in Roxbury, Massachusetts, and $25,000 in 2025 to Bucks Rock Camp in New Milford, Connecticut. The foundation has also supported Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, with grants in both 2024 and 2025.
I See a Foundation’s typical grant size sits at $5,000 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $15,750 at the 75th percentile, even though several recent awards are much larger. The recent record shows repeat recipients across multiple years, including Palliative Care for Uganda, Play on Philly, Wesleyan University, 826 Boston, The Fenn School, Westport Country Playhouse, and Tcs. That points to a recurring relationship model rather than one-off giving. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.

Concentrated giving: a small portfolio of large grants (multiple six-figure gifts), a tendency to make repeat or dual large gifts to the same organizations, and preference for general/mission support over narrowly restricted funding.
Notable grantees: National Geographic Society, Play On Philly, Palliative Care for Uganda (appears as repeated large recipient), Jewish Agency for Israel - North American Council (Operation Falcon)
