The Egerman Family Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on civil rights, Jewish community support, and Israel-related causes, primarily through large, unrestricted gifts. Their grants favor a small number of repeat recipients — including Jewish scholarship/education funds and national civil-rights and advocacy organizations — suggesting an emphasis on sustained institutional support rather than one-off program financing.
Concentrated, high-dollar unrestricted grants to a small set of repeat national organizations; multiple multi-grant relationships rather than many small or geographically dispersed awards.
A defining feature of the Paul and Joanne Egerman Family Charitable Foundation is its repeated, unrestricted support for a small set of institutions over multiple years. The largest recent gift in the data is a $235,000 grant to the Yampol - Egerman Scholarship Fund in Davis, followed closely by consecutive six-figure grants to the New Israel Fund in Washington, DC. That pattern points to a foundation that favors sustained institutional backing rather than one-time project funding. Its grantmaking also reaches civil-rights and Jewish communal organizations at meaningful scale. The Anti Defamation League received multiple gifts, including a $200,000 grant in 2024 and a $100,000 grant in 2025, while the NAACP-bcvf received $150,000 in 2025. The foundation also supported Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, Boston Medical Center, Jewish Currents, J Street Educational Fund, T'ruah, Keshet Inc, Demos, Hopewell Fund, and the Museum of Science. Across those recipients, the grants are described as unrestricted charitable gifts, which signals flexible support for general organizational use.
The foundation gives across several linked cause areas, with Jewish scholarship and community philanthropy at the center. In that lane, it awarded $235,000 to the Yampol - Egerman Scholarship Fund in Davis as an unrestricted charitable gift, alongside other large gifts to the same fund in prior years. Israel-related advocacy is another recurring theme. The New Israel Fund in Washington, DC received $230,000 in 2024 and $225,000 in 2025, both unrestricted. Civil-rights and anti-defamation work also appear prominently: the Anti Defamation League in Washington, DC received $200,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025, while the NAACP-bcvf received $150,000 in 2025. The portfolio also includes support for reproductive health, as shown by grants to Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts in Boston.
Typical grants are substantial: the p25 is $20,000, the median is $50,000, and the p75 is $100,000. The recent record shows a repeat-giver pattern rather than isolated awards; several recipients appear in multiple years, including the Yampol - Egerman Scholarship Fund, New Israel Fund, Anti Defamation League, Jewish Currents, Demos, J Street Educational Fund, T'ruah, Hopewell Fund, Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, and Boston Medical Center. The grants are described as unrestricted charitable gifts, indicating flexible support. The foundation funds organizations, not individuals, and the available data points to no program-related investments.
