The Kornreich Foundation concentrates support on child- and family-focused human services in Long Island/New York—especially food security, pediatric family support, and literacy programs. They fund a small number of local nonprofits repeatedly and provide sizable unrestricted or program support grants that target direct services for children and vulnerable families. Their giving emphasizes practical, community-level interventions rather than advocacy or national initiatives.
John and Janet Kornreich Charitable Foundation Ltd’s giving is marked by repeated, sizable support for Long Island organizations serving children and families. Across recent grants, the foundation has backed literacy access, pediatric family support, child guidance services, and food relief, with multiple recipients appearing year after year. The largest recent award in the data is $126,650 to Literacy Nassau in Freeport, signaling that book access and reading support are a major part of the portfolio. Another recurring core grantee is Island Harvest, which received $100,000 in 2023, $85,000 in 2024, and $90,300 in 2025, reflecting sustained support for regional hunger relief. The foundation’s pattern is practical and community-based: it gives to local nonprofits that deliver direct services rather than broad advocacy. Friends of Karen, a North Salem organization serving families facing serious pediatric illness, received $65,000 in 2023, $65,500 in 2024, and $78,000 in 2025. North Shore Child & Family Guidance also appears repeatedly, showing a continued interest in child and family mental health and guidance services. Overall, the grants point to a concentrated portfolio centered on children, caregivers, and nearby communities in New York.
In children’s literacy, the foundation gave $126,650 to Literacy Nassau in Freeport for charitable support, and also funded Book Fairies in Freeport with $60,000 in 2025 after earlier grants of $50,000 in 2023 and $45,000 in 2024. Those awards align with book access and reading support as a clear theme. Food security is another strand. Island Harvest in Melville received $90,300 in 2025, following $85,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023, showing sustained backing for hunger relief on Long Island. For pediatric and family support, Friends of Karen in North Salem received $78,000 in 2025 after two prior years of support. The foundation also supported North Shore Child & Family Guidance in Roslyn Heights with $62,298 in 2025 and $32,147 in 2024, indicating continuing interest in child and family mental health and guidance services.
Typical grants cluster around a modest local range: p25 is $1,300, median is $6,000, and p75 is $22,500, though the foundation also makes larger awards to core nonprofits. The recipient list shows repeat funding across multiple years for several organizations, including Island Harvest, Friends of Karen, North Shore Child & Family Guidance, Book Fairies, and Sunrise Association. Grants are charitable in nature, and the foundation does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The pattern is concentrated rather than broad, with support repeatedly returning to a small set of New York nonprofits.
