About Marvin H Weiner Foundation
The Marvin H Weiner Foundation concentrates its giving in a few large, strategic gifts focused mainly on healthcare capital needs, higher-education institutions, and Jewish religious/educational programming. Grants are substantial and targeted — underwriting hospital medical equipment purchases, general support to a major research university, and scholarships/operating support for a Jewish community school. The foundation mixes local impact (major support for a Broward County hospital and a local congregation) with at least one national higher-education beneficiary.

About Marvin H Weiner Foundation
A $4.5 million equipment grant to North Broward Hospital District stands out as the Marvin H Weiner Foundation Inc’s largest recent award and a clear sign of its preference for high-value, targeted support. The foundation gives through a small number of substantial grants rather than many small ones, with recent awards also reaching Johns Hopkins University for cardiology and Johns Hopkins Medicine for general support. Healthcare is a major lane, but the foundation also funds education and Jewish communal institutions, including support tied to scholarships and operating expenses at a Baltimore community school. Its recent record shows a mix of capital-style hospital funding, unrestricted institutional support, and gifts that back religious and educational programming. Maryland recipients appear frequently, especially in Baltimore, while Florida also appears through a major local hospital grant. The result is a portfolio centered on a few institutions and a few large checks, often aimed at equipment, core operations, or program support rather than narrowly restricted projects.
What Marvin H Weiner Foundation Funds
In healthcare, the foundation backed hospital capital needs with $4.5 million to North Broward Hospital District for medical equipment. It also supported specialty care and research at Johns Hopkins University with $1.5 million for the division of cardiology, followed by a separate $1.5 million general-fund grant to the same university in the prior year. Education is another clear thread: Beth Tfiloh Congregation received $1 million for educational scholarships and operating expenses of its community school. Smaller grants show broader institutional support as well, including unrestricted funding to The Associated Jewish Federation of Baltimore and to The B&O Railroad Museum.
How Marvin H Weiner Foundation Gives
Typical grants are large: the foundation’s recent distribution shows a p25 of $25,000, a median of $87,500, and a p75 of $1,125,000. The pattern is shaped by a few very large awards and several smaller institutional grants, with multiple recipients appearing in more than one year, including Johns Hopkins University, Beth Tfiloh, and The Brem Foundation. The foundation is not a private operating foundation making individual awards; it funds nonprofit organizations through general grantmaking. Its program description says grants are made to worthy causes across healthcare, education, science, social welfare, and the environment, and unsolicited applications are not accepted.
