About Rita & Jeffrey Adler Family Foundation
The Rita & Jeffrey Adler Family Foundation gives in a pattern of repeated support to arts institutions, Jewish community organizations, and health-care nonprofits, with a notable mix of cash grants and stock donations. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including AdventHealth Foundation, Aspen Art Museum, Dr Phillips Center for the Performing Arts Inc, and Shalom Orlando, showing a preference for sustained relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s recent grant history also includes both operating support and purpose-specific gifts, such as support for contemporary art programming at Aspen Art Museum and general operating support for Mount Sinai Health System. The foundation’s giving profile is shaped by children’s services, arts and culture, Jewish life, and medical care, especially in Central Florida and selected other U.S. communities. Recent grants also show support for institutions serving broader public audiences, including museum visitors, theatergoers, and patients. The scale ranges from smaller five-figure awards to much larger gifts, with a clear presence of repeat funding. That combination points to a funder that backs organizational stability while also supporting specific programs, exhibitions, and community services.
What Rita & Jeffrey Adler Family Foundation Funds
Arts and culture are a major strand of the foundation’s giving. In 2025, it gave $70,973 to Aspen Art Museum to support “thought-provoking, timely, and exciting experiences of contemporary art,” and $60,061 to Worcester Art Museum to help visitors connect with the museum’s collection of nearly 40,000 objects. Jewish community institutions also receive recurring support. The foundation awarded $82,500 to Shalom Orlando in 2025 and $65,009 to Congregation Ohev Shalom the same year, both aimed at strengthening Central Florida Jewish community life. Health care is another clear priority. The foundation made a $17,500 grant to Planned Parenthood in Sarasota for comprehensive reproductive and health care services, and $15,000 to American Friends of Magen David Adom for emergency response, blood services, and disaster relief.
How Rita & Jeffrey Adler Family Foundation Gives
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $3,709, and a p75 of $10,000. The recent record shows a long tail of larger awards, including six-figure support, alongside many smaller operating grants. The foundation appears to fund recurring relationships: several organizations receive grants in multiple years, sometimes more than once in a single year. It also uses in-kind stock gifts, not just cash, and its active programs are structured rather than open-ended. Both the annual grants and the two-stage LOI/full-application program are listed as not accepting unsolicited requests.
