The R&R Family Foundation focuses on local, community-rooted support in and around Ledgewood, NJ, concentrating most of its funding on a small number of repeat grantees. Its giving is dominated by sizeable, targeted grants to a regional children's theater and to organizations serving individuals with developmental disabilities, with occasional support for local healthcare institutions. The foundation appears to prioritize sustained relationships with a few community nonprofits that serve children and vulnerable residents.
A small set of repeat grantees defines R&r Family Foundation Inc C/o Ronetco Supermarkets Inc’s giving, with especially large support for The Growing Stage and Scarc over multiple years. Those two organizations account for some of the foundation’s biggest recent awards: The Growing Stage received $130,000 in 2023 and $93,000 in 2024, while Scarc received $77,000 in 2023, $60,000 in 2024, $120,000 in 2025, and $60,000 in 2026. That pattern points to a funder that builds sustained relationships rather than distributing a wide array of one-time grants. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches beyond its largest recurring awards. It has supported Newton Memorial Hospital for medical and research assistance, Pope John High School for education, and several smaller community organizations in northern New Jersey. The mix includes arts and culture, disability services, education, healthcare, and basic community support, with grants ranging from major commitments to smaller awards such as $2,000 and $5,000. Most of the recipients are in New Jersey, matching the foundation’s local scope of giving and its concentration on nearby nonprofits serving children, families, and people with developmental disabilities.
The foundation’s strongest arts-and-youth support appears in its backing of The Growing Stage in Newton, which received $130,000 in 2023, $93,000 in 2024, $40,000 in 2025, and $20,000 in 2026 for theater for children in New Jersey. That is a clear recurring commitment rather than a single project grant. Disability services are another central area. Scarc in Augusta received $77,000 in 2023, $60,000 in 2024, $120,000 in 2025, and $60,000 in 2026 for support of individuals with developmental disabilities. The foundation also made smaller grants tied to vulnerable populations, including $10,000 to Project Self Sufficiency for assistance to single parents, teen parents and parents in need, and $7,500 to Jersey Battered Women’s Shelter for support of abused women and children. Healthcare appears as a third thread through grants such as $27,000 to Newton Memorial Hospital for medical and research assistance and $17,500 and $15,000 to Newton Medical Center Foundation for the same purpose.

Concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large, repeat grants to a couple of core regional partners (two organizations receive the majority of funds), with a handful of smaller one-off grants to local healthcare causes.
Notable grantees: The Growing Stage, SCARC, Newton Memorial Hospital
The typical grant size sits at a median of $19,000, with a p25 of $6,875 and a p75 of $45,000. That spread fits a pattern of targeted grants that includes both mid-sized awards and much larger multi-year commitments. The same recipients reappear across several years, especially Scarc, The Growing Stage, Pope John High School, University of Pennsylvania, and Newton Medical Center Foundation, which suggests recurring relationships rather than one-off support. The foundation is a private family foundation linked to Ronetco Supermarkets Inc. Its recent giving is entirely to U.S. recipients.
Grantmaking is tightly concentrated in New Jersey: 90% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and the top state by grant count is NJ. New Jersey recipients include Newton, Augusta, Sparta, Morristown, Madison, Blairstown, and Ledgewood-area institutions. Philadelphia appears as an out-of-state recipient city through the University of Pennsylvania, but the broader pattern remains local and in-state. The recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.
Its most visible support goes to a regional children’s theater and to organizations serving people with developmental disabilities. The foundation also funds education, healthcare, and targeted social-service work such as support for single parents, abused women and children, pregnant women, and hospice care.
Yes. Several recipients appear repeatedly across the recent grants list, including Scarc, The Growing Stage, Pope John High School, University of Pennsylvania, and Newton Medical Center Foundation. Scarc alone appears in 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
The grant-size distribution centers on a median award of $19,000, with the middle half of grants running from $6,875 at the 25th percentile to $45,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list also shows much larger commitments, including six-figure support for recurring grantees.
It gives most often in New Jersey. Ninety percent of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and the recent grants list is dominated by New Jersey cities such as Newton, Augusta, Sparta, Morristown, Madison, and Blairstown.
The data points to children’s theater and arts education, services for individuals with developmental disabilities, medical research and patient care improvement, education support, and several targeted social-service categories, including assistance for single parents, teen parents, abused women and children, pregnancy support, and hospice care.
