The Matilda Loveman Foundation concentrates its funding into a very small set of organizations, with large, repeated general-purpose grants. Its giving predominantly supports breast cancer advocacy/research (via Susan G. Komen) and Jewish community philanthropy (via UJA Foundation of New York), with occasional support for animal rescue/rights. Grants are targeted and substantial rather than broadly distributed across many small recipients.
Concentrated giving: a few large, repeat general-purpose grants to the same core grantees rather than many small or one-off awards.
Matilda Loveman Foundation’s giving is defined by repeated, substantial general-purpose grants to a very small group of organizations. In the latest grants shown, Susan G. Komen and Uja Foundation of New York each received multiple awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Beagle Freedom Project appears as a smaller third recipient. That pattern points to a foundation that backs ongoing operating and mission support rather than spreading funds across many grantees. The foundation’s grant list also shows a clear split between two long-running priorities: breast cancer advocacy and research, and Jewish community philanthropy. These are not one-time awards; the same organizations recur with similar award types over multiple years. The amounts are sizeable relative to the recipient list, with the largest recent awards reaching $78,246 and later grants continuing at $65,000 and $45,000 levels. The result is a compact portfolio centered on a few organizations the foundation continues to support year after year.
Breast cancer advocacy and research is one of the foundation’s central themes. Susan G. Komen received $78,246 in 2023, followed by $65,000 in 2024 and $45,000 in 2025, all listed as general purpose grants. Jewish community philanthropy is the other major line of support, with Uja Foundation of New York receiving the same sequence of $78,246 in 2023, $65,000 in 2024, and $45,000 in 2025. The foundation also supports animal rescue and advocacy focused on laboratory animals: Beagle Freedom Project received $10,000 in 2024 and $12,384 in 2025 for general purpose grants. Across these areas, the awards are not tied to narrowly defined projects in the recent grant list; they are framed as broad support for the organizations themselves.
Typical grants cluster in a relatively narrow range, with p25 at $36,846, median at $55,000, and p75 at $68,312. The recent grants also show repetition: the same organizations appear in multiple years, with awards recurring in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern suggests sustained support rather than isolated one-off gifts. The foundation is structured as a private foundation rather than a donor-advised fund, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant descriptions in the recent list are mostly general purpose grants, reinforcing an unrestricted or core-support approach.
