The Polsky Family Charitable Foundation makes a small number of relatively large, targeted gifts split between charitable giving through an intermediary and direct support for Jewish elder care. Their giving is concentrated: two repeat grants each to Charities Aid Foundation of America (a donor-advised/ grantmaking intermediary) and to Village Shalom, a Jewish eldercare organization in Overland Park. This pattern suggests the foundation both routs philanthropic support through an intermediary for broad grantmaking and directly funds local faith‑based senior services.
Norman & Elaine Polsky Family Charitable Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a dual pattern: repeat support for a philanthropic intermediary and direct gifts to Jewish elder care in Overland Park. The largest grants on file go to Charities Aid Foundation of America, which received $30,000 in 2023 and $29,000 in 2024 to provide grants to charitable organizations. Village Shalom received $25,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for its work bringing dignity, choice, compassion, and care to elders during their lives and life transitions. That core pattern sits alongside a wider set of targeted gifts to Jewish community institutions, education, and social services in the Kansas City area. Recent recipients include Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City for its chaplaincy program and food pantry, Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City, Congregation Beth Shalom, Jewish Community Foundation, and Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy. The foundation also appears in a small number of grants outside Kansas, including support for arts, youth, health, and advocacy organizations. Overall, the foundation’s grantmaking is selective and mission-specific rather than broad-based, with repeated support for a limited set of organizations across multiple years.
Jewish elder care is a central theme. Village Shalom received $25,000 in 2023 and another $25,000 in 2024 for work focused on dignity, choice, compassion, and care for elders during life transitions. The foundation also supports Jewish community infrastructure in Overland Park. Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City received $14,000 in 2023 and $12,000 in 2024 for its chaplaincy program and food pantry, while Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City and Jewish Community Foundation each received gifts tied to religious, educational, charitable, and planned-giving purposes. Beyond that local base, the foundation has funded early childhood learning and books for children. Wonderscope received $10,000 in 2023 and $5,000 in 2024 for hands-on exhibits about art, science, math, and reading for children under 8, and Reach Out and Read Kansas City received $5,000 in 2023 to provide books that reflect the diversity of people and cultures in the community.

Concentrated giving with few, relatively large grants; repeat funding to the same two recipients (split between an intermediary for pass-through grants and a local nonprofit), indicating preference for sustained relationships rather than many small awards.
Notable grantees: Charities Aid Foundation of America, Village Shalom, Charitable organizations funded via CAF America (pass-through grants)
Typical grants are small and clustered tightly: the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile are $2,000, $2,000, and $5,000. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, including Charities Aid Foundation of America, Village Shalom, Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City, Congregation Beth Shalom, Wonderscope, Brothers for Life, Burns Recovered Support Group, Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy, Rose Brooks Center, and Jewish Community Foundation. That repetition points to an ongoing relationship-based pattern rather than one-off giving. The foundation is a family charitable foundation, and the grants are direct charitable gifts rather than program-related investments or individual funding.
Grants are nationwide in scope, but they land most often in Kansas, which accounts for 39% of grants. Overland Park appears frequently, with recipients such as Village Shalom, Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City, Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City, Congregation Beth Shalom, Jewish Community Foundation, and Hyman Brand Hebrew Academy. Kansas City also appears repeatedly through Wonderscope, Rose Brooks Center, Metropolitan Ensemble Theater, and Reach Out and Read Kansas City. Outside Kansas, the foundation has supported organizations in Alexandria, Seattle, St. Louis, Nashville, Brooklyn, Denver, Corte Madera, Berkeley, Aspen, and Chesterfield.
The foundation gives repeatedly to Jewish community institutions, elder services, and related social supports. Recent examples include Village Shalom for elder care, Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City for chaplaincy and a food pantry, Jewish Federation of Greater Kansas City, Congregation Beth Shalom, and Jewish Community Foundation.
Its grants are usually modest and tightly grouped. The typical grant-size distribution is $2,000 at the 25th percentile, $2,000 at the median, and $5,000 at the 75th percentile.
Yes. The recent grants list shows repeat support across multiple years, including Charities Aid Foundation of America in 2023 and 2024, Village Shalom in 2023 and 2024, and several other recipients such as Jewish Family Services of Greater Kansas City, Wonderscope, Brothers for Life, and Rose Brooks Center.

No. The giving is national, with recipients in multiple states including Virginia, Washington, Missouri, Tennessee, New York, California, Colorado, and Kansas.
