The Laterman Family Foundation concentrates support in New York-area higher education, Jewish communal life and Israel-related organizations, and medical research/healthcare institutions, while also funding arts and competitive sports programs. They tend to provide general operating support across a mix of large institutional gifts and many smaller contributions, favoring established nonprofits with city, national, or Israel-focused missions.
Laterman Family Foundation Incorporated’s recent giving shows a clear blend of New York higher education, Jewish communal support, and medical research. The largest grants in the latest filings were $50,000 gifts to Concern Foundation for Cancer Research, Mount Sinai Hospital, The Baruch College Fund, and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, pointing to a mix of research, hospital, and campus support. The foundation also backed UJA Federation of New York, USC Shoah Foundation, and American Friends of Magen David Adom, alongside arts and athletics groups such as 92nd Street Y, Ballet Theatre Foundation, USA Hockey Foundation, and US Rowing Association. Many of these grants were listed as general operations, suggesting flexible support for established institutions rather than one-off project funding. Across the grants list, the pattern is consistent: New York recipients appear repeatedly, but the portfolio also reaches national and Israel-linked organizations. Medical and academic gifts sit alongside Jewish communal and cultural institutions, giving the foundation a profile that spans philanthropy, education, health, and community life.
In medical giving, the foundation funded Mount Sinai Hospital with $50,000 to support research in the Joint Replacement Center of Excellence, and it also made a $50,000 general-operating grant to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. That aligns with a research and healthcare profile that includes cancer-focused support as well. On the Jewish communal side, it gave $45,000 to Uja Federation of New York and $20,000 to United Jewish Appeal - Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, plus $5,000 to World Jewish Congress American Section Inc. The foundation also supported Israel-related work through a $25,000 gift to American Friends of Magen David Adom and a $3,500 grant to Pef Israel Endowment Funds Inc. Arts and cultural support appears through grants to 92nd Street Y and Museum of Modern Art.
Typical grant size is modest-to-midrange, with p25 at $300, a median of $2,500, and p75 at $25,000. The pattern includes both small operating grants and a smaller set of $50,000 awards. Recipients recur across years: Baruch College Fund appears in 2024 and 2025, as do USA Hockey Foundation, USC Shoah Foundation, Ballet Theatre Foundation, Museum of Modern Art, and Center for Initiatives in Jewish Education. The foundation is a family foundation, makes no program-related investments, and does not fund individuals. The listed grants are overwhelmingly general-operating support, with one explicit research designation at Mount Sinai Hospital.

A mixed strategy: several sizable, repeat gifts to a handful of core institutional grantees (e.g., Baruch College, USC Shoah Foundation, Mount Sinai) combined with numerous smaller, one-off grants across arts, Jewish communal, and sports organizations. Most awards are unrestricted/general operations support and geographically concentrated in New York with some national and Israel-directed giving.
Notable grantees: Baruch College Fund, USC Shoah Foundation, Mount Sinai Hospital / Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, UJA Federation of New York, US Rowing Association / USA Hockey Foundation
