The Hoffberger Family Foundation concentrates sizable, targeted grants to organizations combating hate and protecting civil rights, supporting Jewish community needs (including Israel-related causes), and funding national animal welfare work. Their giving is focused and mission-driven rather than broadly distributed, favoring established advocacy and community institutions with a clear public-interest or communal focus.
Concentrated, mid-to-large gifts to a small number of established organizations; evidence of repeat support (multiple grants to ASPCA) and a mix of local/state-level beneficiaries and national advocacy groups.
A recurring pattern in Judith and Stanley Hoffberger Family Foundation grantmaking is visible in its support for organizations that respond to hate and antisemitism while also funding animal welfare and emergency aid. In 2025, the foundation gave $80,000 to Anti-Defamation League (ADL - Florida) for general support, alongside large gifts to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Southern Poverty Law Center. That mix shows a foundation that supports both civil rights advocacy and animal protection through direct grants. The foundation’s giving is not broad-based; it is concentrated in a small set of institutions that appear repeatedly across years. Jewish community support is another clear thread, including grants to Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County for Israel-related and anti-hatred work, and support for other Jewish family-service organizations. Animal welfare is equally present, with grants to shelters, rescue groups, and national humane organizations. Across the recent grants list, the foundation favors general support and program support, suggesting flexibility for established nonprofits with ongoing operating needs. Its grantmaking also includes targeted emergency assistance, including aid tied to Ukraine and hurricane response.
Anti-hate and civil rights advocacy is one of the clearest throughlines in the foundation’s giving. It awarded $25,000 to Southern Poverty Law Center for general support in 2025, and also funded ADL Florida, ADL Southwest Region, ADL New England, and ADL Mountain States Region with general-support grants. Jewish community support appears in both local and international forms. The foundation gave $25,000 to Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County for the Israel Terro Fund in 2024, plus $20,000 the same year for the Palm Beach Center to Combat Antisemitism and Hatred. Animal welfare is another major area. Grants include $20,000 to Best Friends Animals Society for general support and $20,000 to Humane Society International for Hurricane Otis aid for Acapulco. The foundation also funded Ukraine animal aid through Humane Society International and American Humane.
Typical grant size clusters at $10,000, with p25 at $5,000, median at $10,000, and p75 at $10,000. That pattern points to a grantmaker that often uses standard award levels, with a smaller number of larger gifts at the top end. The recent record also shows repeated support for the same organizations across multiple years, including Southern Poverty Law Center, ADL affiliates, Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue, and Humane Society International. Grants are made as general support, program support, and emergency or disaster-related aid, indicating a mix of operating and targeted funding. No individual giving or program-related investments are part of the profile.
