The Margaret A Meyer Family Foundation prioritizes international humanitarian and development work, with a strong emphasis on women’s and girls’ rights, health, and education. It funds established international NGOs delivering emergency relief, global health and reproductive services, and programs that expand educational and economic opportunities (especially literacy and workforce training). Grants are typically mid-sized and recurring, suggesting sustained support for a portfolio of program-focused NGOs rather than large single-project endowments.
Margaret a Meyer Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving is anchored by repeat support for international humanitarian and women’s rights organizations, with several grants appearing in both 2023 and 2024. At the top end, the foundation made $45,000 grants to the International Rescue Committee and Save the Children in 2023, then renewed both at $35,000 in 2024. That pattern shows a portfolio built around established NGOs working in emergency relief, global health, reproductive services, and opportunities for women and girls. The foundation also backs advocacy and service groups focused on reproductive health and international development. American Jewish World Service Inc received $35,000 in 2023 and $40,000 in 2024, while Planned Parenthood (usa) received $25,000 in both 2023 and 2024. Smaller recurring grants to organizations such as Camfed USA, Global Fund for Women Inc, Pathfinder International, and Oxfam America point to a consistent mix of humanitarian response and longer-term social development priorities. Alongside those global priorities, the foundation includes workforce and education-oriented grantees such as Per Scholas Inc and Onegoal, indicating interest in economic mobility as part of its broader grantmaking profile.
International relief is a major part of the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $45,000 to International Rescue Committee in 2023 and renewed support at $35,000 in 2024, while Save the Children received the same $45,000 in 2023 and $35,000 in 2024. Women’s and girls’ rights and reproductive health are another clear thread. American Jewish World Service Inc received $35,000 in 2023 and $40,000 in 2024, and Planned Parenthood (usa) was funded at $25,000 in both years. The foundation also supports global health and development organizations. Care USA received $35,000 in 2023 and $25,000 in 2024, and Pathfinder International received $20,000 in each year on record. Economic opportunity appears in grants to Onegoal and Per Scholas Inc, each funded at $25,000 in 2023 and 2024.
Typical grants cluster tightly around the mid-five-figure range: p25 is $20,000, the median is $25,000, and p75 is $30,000. The recent record shows repeat support across years rather than one-off awards, with multiple grantees appearing in both 2023 and 2024. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF vehicle, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grantmaking appears to favor steady, recurring operating-style support for established nonprofits.
