The Komar Family Foundation concentrates support on a small number of organizations blending local community service with child-focused health and youth development causes. A single large, local grant dominates their giving while the remaining awards fund national health and youth nonprofits, indicating interest in both neighborhood impact and pediatric medical causes. Their portfolio suggests a preference for direct service (hunger relief, youth programs) plus targeted support for childhood health issues.
Concentrated giving to a few recipients: one large local grantee receives the majority of funds while several smaller grants support national pediatric health and youth organizations; appears to prefer one-time or single-year awards rather than many small, dispersed gifts.
Notable grantees: LUNCH BREAK, NEW CITY KIDS, MIRACLEFEET, JDRF
A $150,000 grant to Lunch Break in Red Bank is the clearest signal in Komar Family Foundation’s recent giving: the foundation backs direct local service alongside a small set of child- and health-centered nonprofits. Most of its awards land in New Jersey, and several of the largest grants support organizations serving children, families, and community health needs. The pattern is not broad-based grantmaking; it is concentrated, with a handful of recipients receiving repeated support across 2024 and 2025. Riverview Medical Center Foundation received $100,000 in 2025, showing that the foundation also supports local health infrastructure. Beyond that, the portfolio includes youth development groups such as New City Kids in Jersey City, as well as pediatric and child health organizations like Miraclefeet and JDRF. Taken together, the grants suggest a foundation that combines neighborhood-based relief with targeted support for children’s well-being, medical needs, and youth programs. Their giving also reaches a few organizations outside New Jersey, but the center of gravity remains local and community-facing.
Local hunger relief is one clear theme. The foundation gave $150,000 to Lunch Break in Red Bank in 2024, a grant that sits alongside support for other community-serving organizations in the same area. Youth development is another recurring area. New City Kids in Jersey City received $50,000 in both 2024 and 2025, and Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County received $25,000 in 2025. Those awards point to support for after-school and mentoring-type work. Health-related giving includes both community medical care and pediatric conditions. Riverview Medical Center Foundation received $100,000 in 2025, while Miraclefeet received $30,000 in 2025 for its work related to clubfoot treatment. The foundation also supported JDRF with $25,000 in 2024, aligning with childhood diabetes research and support.
Typical grant size is clustered around larger awards, with a p25 of $3,750, a median of $25,000, and a p75 of $40,000. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including New City Kids, Miraclefeet, Riverview Medical Center Foundation, and Zipf Memorial Scholarship Fund. That points to a recurring-gift pattern rather than one-off awards. The foundation is a private family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grant purposes are listed broadly as tax-exempt purposes, so the public record does not break out application mechanics or specific restrictions.
