The Peskowitz EOLP Inc foundation concentrates its giving into a small number of large, unrestricted grants focused largely on facilitating kidney transplantation and paired-donation programs, alongside significant support for sport-based youth peacebuilding. They fund organizations that build practical systems and networks for organ matching and transplantation, while also backing an international youth reconciliation organization that uses basketball to bridge communities.
Highly concentrated giving with a small number of large, general‑use grants; repeated multi-grant support to the same organizations; strategic, program‑level investments rather than many small awards.
Penelope and Ed Peskowitz Eolp Inc concentrates its philanthropy in large, generally unrestricted grants tied to two clear themes: kidney transplantation infrastructure and sport-based youth peacebuilding. Its largest recent grants went to Kidney Transplant Collaboration, including $2,100,000 in 2024 and $1,425,000 in 2025, both for general use. The foundation also made major multi-year support to Peaceplayers International, giving $1,500,000 in 2023 and $1,000,000 in 2024 for general use. Those awards suggest a funder that backs organizations over time rather than through one-off project-specific gifts. Around the organ-donation side of its grantmaking, the foundation has supported groups working on paired donation, organ matching, and transplantation systems, including Alliance for Paired Donation Inc and Kidneys in Common. On the peacebuilding side, it has funded basketball-based reconciliation work through Peaceplayers International. The recurring pattern across these grants is flexible support to organizations that build practical networks, services, and cross-community ties rather than narrowly defined programs.
In organ transplantation, the foundation backed several organizations involved in matching and paired donation. It gave $900,000 in 2023 to Alliance for Paired Donation Inc for general use and $500,000 in 2023 to Kidneys in Common for general use, alongside support to Mayo Clinic in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That cluster points to interest in the infrastructure around kidney donation rather than a single clinical site. Its second clear theme is sport-based youth reconciliation. Peaceplayers International received $1,500,000 in 2023 and $1,000,000 in 2024 for general use. The foundation also supported Colegio San Ignacio De Loyola in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Israel Policy Forum in New York, both in 2023, showing some additional interest in educational and civic organizations connected to community relations. The foundation has also made grants to public-interest groups such as Propublica Inc and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Typical grants cluster at the high end of the distribution: p25 is $16,250, median grant size is $50,000, and p75 is $212,500. The recent record shows repeated support to several organizations across multiple years, including Kidney Transplant Collaboration, Peaceplayers International, Mayo Clinic, Dr Richard Barnett Foundation, and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. Grants are generally listed as general use, and the foundation is not a DAF or an operating charity making program-related investments; it is a grantmaking foundation with national reach.
