About Menorah Park Foundation
The Menorah Park Foundation is a highly focused, locally oriented funder that nearly exclusively supports Menorah Park’s senior living ecosystem in Beachwood, OH. Nearly all dollars go to the affiliated Menorah Park Center for Senior Living for operating, capital, and resident services, with a very small portion directed to volunteer/social programming through the Menorah Park Women’s & Men’s Association. The foundation functions primarily as an institutional backer of Jewish-affiliated eldercare rather than a broad public charity funder.

About Menorah Park Foundation
Menorah Park Foundation’s giving is centered on a single senior living ecosystem: Menorah Park Center for Senior Living and the related Menorah Park Women’s & Men’s Association. The largest recent grant in the record is $2,264,117 to Menorah Park Center for Senior Living for program support in 2023, followed by $1,784,408 in 2024 and $732,926 in 2025. That pattern points to sustained institutional support rather than a broad portfolio of outside grantees. The foundation also appears in smaller awards to the Women’s & Men’s Association, including program support grants in 2024 and 2025. Together, those grants show a funder that backs both resident-serving operations and the social programming connected to the campus. Menorah Park Foundation is led by Ken Marblestone and reports annual grants of $4,810,911 against $30,153,157 in assets. Its recent grant record is highly concentrated in Ohio, with Beachwood and Winter Park appearing as recipient locations. The foundation’s public profile is shaped less by breadth than by repeated support for the same affiliated organizations over time.
What Menorah Park Foundation Funds
Menorah Park Foundation’s grantmaking is built around senior care and resident services. In 2025, it gave $732,926 to Menorah Park Center for Senior Living for program support, continuing a pattern of large operating-style awards to the same campus-based institution. A second thread is volunteer and social programming for older adults. In 2024, the foundation awarded $12,851 to Menorah Park Women’s & Men’s Association for program support, and it made another award to the same organization in 2025. The foundation’s support also spans capital and program needs within the same senior living ecosystem. Its repeated grants to Menorah Park Center for Senior Living in 2023 and 2024 show ongoing backing for the organization’s core work rather than isolated project funding.
How Menorah Park Foundation Gives
The grant-size distribution is wide: p25 is $11,466, median grant size is $372,888, and p75 is $1,521,538. That spread reflects a structure with a few very large awards and a smaller set of modest grants. The recent record also shows repeat recipients across multiple years, especially Menorah Park Center for Senior Living and Menorah Park Women’s & Men’s Association. The foundation gives as a regional funder and does not fund individuals. Its recent grants are program support awards, indicating direct institutional support rather than a competitive application-driven portfolio.
