The Martinez IV Foundation concentrates support on a small set of mid-sized grants that combine elite national institutions with local education nonprofits. Their giving mixes healthcare (major hospital support) and international affairs/relief with targeted support for independent and special‑needs K–12 schools. Grants are pragmatic/general‑purpose contributions rather than tightly restricted program funding.
Mr & Mrs Roman Martinez IV Foundation’s largest recent grant was $50,000 to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in 2025, and that hospital support sits alongside gifts to other major healthcare institutions, refugee assistance, and independent schools. The pattern is a compact portfolio built around general-purpose grants rather than narrowly restricted program awards. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backed NewYork-Presbyterian more than once, giving $25,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2025, which signals repeat support for a flagship institution. The foundation also uses mid-sized grants to support education and civic institutions. It gave $10,000 to The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks and $5,000 to Palm Beach Day Academy, while also supporting the Council on Foreign Relations at $10,000 in 2023 and 2024. In the local Palm Beach area, the foundation’s giving includes Glades Academy Foundation Inc, the Diocese of Palm Beach, and Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach. That mix points to a funder with a small set of recurring priorities rather than a broad open-ended grantmaking program.
Healthcare is a visible part of the foundation’s giving. It awarded $6,500 to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in 2025 and $2,500 to The Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering in 2023, alongside repeated support for NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. International relief is another thread. The foundation gave $20,000 to the International Rescue Committee in 2023 and $5,000 to the same organization in 2024, indicating continued support for refugee assistance. Education grants are split between independent schools and local access-oriented programs. Examples include $10,000 to The Buckley School, $5,000 to Beauvoir School, $1,000 to Breakthrough New York, and $1,000 to The Chapin School. Local Palm Beach education also appears through Palm Beach Day Academy and Glades Academy Foundation Inc.
The foundation’s typical grant size is modest relative to its largest gifts: p25 is $1,000, median is $5,000, and p75 is $8,250. That distribution fits a structure that favors a limited number of general-purpose grants with a handful of larger anchor awards. The recent list also shows repeat support to the same organizations across multiple years, including NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the International Rescue Committee, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Diocese of Palm Beach. All recent grants listed are general-purpose, and the foundation does not fund individuals.
