Old Oaks Foundation concentrates on health-related care (with an emphasis on cancer, pediatric and rehabilitation services), local Westchester-area community institutions, and Jewish/Israel-focused organizations and programs. They fund a mix of medical centers and disease-specific nonprofits, neighborhood cultural and social-service groups, youth programs, and a few international relief/education partners. Grants tend to be modest-to-midsize awards directed to mission-driven nonprofits rather than large institutional endowments.
Old Oaks Foundation Inc gives across a narrow local footprint while concentrating on health care, Jewish communal life, and Westchester-area civic institutions. In the recent grants list, the largest award was $31,750 to Mt Sinai Cancer Center for general support, followed by $27,600 to Msk Brain Tumor Services and $23,700 to Sunrise Day Camp. Those awards point to a consistent mix of hospital-based cancer care, pediatric support, and community-serving nonprofits. The foundation also backs organizations that sit at the intersection of health and neighborhood life. White Plains Hospital received $21,000 in 2023 and $11,000 in 2025, while Cancer Support Team received $14,000 in 2023 and $11,000 in 2025. Other recipients include Wjcs, Dorot, Blythedale, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, and Museum of Jewish Heritage-a Living Memorial to the Holocaust. The giving pattern shows support for general support grants rather than restricted project awards, with awards directed to established nonprofits in New York and a small set of partners outside the state.
Health-related care is a clear theme. Old Oaks Foundation Inc gave $31,750 to Mt Sinai Cancer Center for general support and $27,600 to Msk Brain Tumor Services, both in 2023, along with $15,100 to Pediatric Cancer Foundation. The foundation also supports pediatric and youth services. Sunrise Day Camp received $23,700 in 2023 and another $11,000 in 2025, while Big Brothers Big Sisters of Westchester received $11,000 in 2025 and Girls Inc received $12,500 in 2023. Jewish communal and education-related organizations are another consistent area. Jdc received $23,610 in 2023, Holocaust & Human Right Education received $11,000 in 2025, and Museum of Jewish Heritage-a Living Memorial to the Holocaust received $11,000 in 2025. Community institutions in Westchester also appear repeatedly, including White Plains Hospital, Rye Arts Center, and Westchester Childrens Museum.
Typical grants cluster tightly around the mid-thousands: p25 is $7,000, median is $7,000, and p75 is $14,825. The recent grants list shows repeated support for the same organizations across years, including Our New Way Garden, White Plains Hospital, Cancer Support Team, and Sunrise Day Camp, which points to recurring rather than one-time giving for some recipients. Old Oaks Foundation Inc is classified as a Regular Funder and gives general support grants. The available records show grants made in 2023 and 2025, with awards mostly in New York and a limited number of out-of-state recipients.
