The Kreitler Foundation concentrates its giving on a small number of local institutions, primarily supporting faith communities and specialized educational/service providers. Grants are sizable and often repeat to the same organizations, with a clear Connecticut focus (Fairfield/Greens Farms) and some support extending to a church in Jupiter, FL. The foundation appears to prioritize sustaining churches and organizations serving children and individuals with disabilities or special needs.
Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a small set of repeat grantees; mix of multi-year or multiple payments to the same institutions rather than broad, one-off funding across many organizations.
Kreitler Foundation Inc’s largest recent grant went to Horizons-Greens Farms, which received $265,765 in 2025 as unrestricted support. That award fits a broader pattern of large, flexible grants to a small set of recurring recipients, especially churches, faith communities, and organizations serving children or people with developmental disabilities. The foundation also gave $186,035 to Jupiter First Church and $125,973 to First Church Fairfield in 2025, both unrestricted, showing that religious institutions remain a central part of its grantmaking. The foundation’s recent giving also includes sustained support for Chapel Haven Schleifer Center in Westville, with six-figure and $20,000 awards, and for Horizons programs in Greens Farms across multiple years. Several recipients appear repeatedly in the grant list, which suggests a relationship-based pattern rather than one-off project funding. Grants are generally unrestricted, and the recipient pool is narrow enough to show clear priorities: congregational support, educational enrichment, and services connected to disability support. Even when the checks are smaller, they still tend to go to the same organizations over time, including a small number of Connecticut institutions and a Florida church.
One clear theme is congregational support. The foundation gave $125,973 to First Church Fairfield in 2025 and also funded Jupiter First Church in Jupiter, Florida with $11,200 the same year, after prior grants of $10,000 in 2023 and 2024. Those awards were unrestricted. A second theme is youth enrichment. Horizons-Greens Farms received $265,765 in 2025, while Horizons Gfa in Greens Farms received $44,000 in 2024 and $37,500 in 2023. The repeated support points to a multi-year commitment to the Horizons umbrella. The foundation also supports services for people with developmental disabilities. Chapel Haven Schleifer Center received $106,306 in 2025, and Chapel Haven Fund received $20,000 in both 2024 and 2023, all unrestricted. Smaller grants also reached community-serving organizations such as Catholic Academy-Bridgeport.
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $3,000, and a p75 of $7,500. That sits alongside a handful of much larger unrestricted awards, indicating a grant pattern that mixes broad support with larger relationship-based commitments. Recurring grants are common: Horizons Gfa, Jupiter First Church, First Church Fairfield, Chapel Haven Fund, Catholic Academy-Bridgeport, and Wellesley College each appear multiple times across the recent-grants list. The foundation is a private foundation, gives program-related investments false, and the grant records shown are unrestricted.
