The foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish communal institutions, funding organizations that provide social services and emergency relief for Jewish communities. With only two mid-sized grants in the record, it appears to prefer established Jewish nonprofits that serve community welfare and crisis needs rather than a broad mix of causes. Grants are targeted and operational in nature (family services, federation emergency fund), indicating interest in sustaining core community support systems.
Concentrated giving: a small number of mid-sized grants to established Jewish communal organizations, focused on operational and emergency support rather than many small or highly diversified gifts.
A $28,000 unrestricted grant to Jewish Family Service of Greater Metro West is the largest recent award in the record, and it fits a clear pattern: Lloyd a Marks and Janice Siegel Foundation Inc backs Jewish communal institutions that provide social services, emergency help, and other forms of community support. The foundation’s recent giving is concentrated in practical support for organizations serving Jewish communities, including federation emergency funding, family service agencies, and local communal infrastructure. Its grants are usually flexible rather than program-specific, which suggests a preference for strengthening core operations and response capacity. The record also shows repeat support for several organizations over multiple years. Jewish Family Service of Greater Metro West appears in 2024 and 2025, and Temple Emanu-el received unrestricted grants in both 2023 and 2024. That recurring pattern points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Alongside those community-focused gifts, the foundation has made smaller unrestricted grants to a broader set of nonprofits, but the core identity remains tied to Jewish communal welfare and emergency response. The overall annual grantmaking level is modest, so each award appears deliberate and targeted.
Jewish family and social services are a central theme. In 2025, the foundation gave $28,000 to Jewish Family Service of Greater Metro West for unrestricted support, and it also made a $2,500 unrestricted grant to the same organization in 2024. That pairing shows sustained attention to a regional Jewish family-service provider. Emergency and relief work is another clear focus. In 2024, Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia received $25,000 for its emergency fund, linking the foundation to short-term stabilization efforts within Jewish communal systems. The record also includes support for local Jewish and community institutions through unrestricted gifts. Temple Emanu-el received $5,000 in both 2023 and 2024, and United Jewish Appeal of Greater Metrowest NJ received $2,500 in 2023. These grants suggest an interest in sustaining established organizations that anchor communal life.
Typical grants are small to modest: the p25 is $250, the median is $500, and the p75 is $1,000. That distribution sits alongside a few much larger awards, which makes the foundation’s grantmaking look selective rather than heavily diversified. The record also shows repeat giving across multiple years, including several organizations that appear in both 2023 and 2024, and some that reappear in 2025. Most awards are unrestricted, which points to flexible support rather than tightly restricted project funding. The foundation is classified as a regular funder, and it also funds individuals.
