The Joan and Alan Ades–Taub Family Foundation concentrates its giving on reproductive health and abortion access, with substantial unrestricted gifts to grassroots abortion funds and organizations serving marginalized people who need abortion care. Secondary interests include economic mobility and workforce training, disability services, and support for performing arts in New York. Grants are relatively few but meaningful in size and target both direct-service and advocacy-oriented groups.
The Joan and Alan Ades-taub Family Foundation Inc. makes some of its largest recent grants to abortion-access organizations, including three $60,000 gifts in 2025 to The Brigid Alliance, NY Abortion Access Fund, and DC Abortion Fund. That pattern points to a foundation that combines direct support for people seeking abortion care with broader support for nonprofits serving public needs. The recent record also shows a parallel stream of giving in New York arts and culture, with grants to Manhattan School of Music, New York Theatre Ballet, the Metropolitan Opera Club, Morgan Library & Museum, Carnegie Hall, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The foundation’s grantmaking is not limited to one cause area, but the abortion-related grants stand out for their scale and repetition. In addition to those larger awards, the foundation has also backed Planned Parenthood and support organizations for people who may face barriers to care, alongside smaller gifts to community and cultural institutions. Its giving profile suggests a family foundation that uses a mix of larger targeted grants and smaller discretionary awards, with New York recipients appearing frequently across the record.
Reproductive health is the clearest throughline in the Joan and Alan Ades-taub Family Foundation Inc.’s recent giving. In 2025, it gave $60,000 to The Brigid Alliance, $60,000 to NY Abortion Access Fund, and $60,000 to DC Abortion Fund, all of which align with abortion access and patient support. The foundation also supports workforce and economic mobility. Career Bridges received $45,600 in 2023 and another $5,000 in 2024, showing repeated backing for job-related programming. In services for people with disabilities, Arc Southeast received $30,000 in 2025. Its New York arts support includes $25,500 to Manhattan School of Music in 2023 and $14,500 to New York Theatre Ballet in the same year, indicating a sustained interest in cultural institutions alongside human-services giving.
Typical grants are small to moderate overall, with a p25 of $38, a median of $100, and a p75 of $3,000. That distribution sits alongside a few much larger gifts, which means the foundation uses a wide spread of award sizes rather than a single standard amount. The record includes both one-time gifts and repeat support across years: Career Bridges and New York Theatre Ballet each appear more than once, and Carnegie Hall received grants in 2023 and 2024. The foundation is a family foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The available grants also suggest that many awards are discretionary rather than tied to a public application process.
