    About Robert and Ellen Plancher Family Foundation

    The Plancher Family Foundation concentrates its giving on higher-education institutions and health-related educational programs. Grants are directed to universities and medical/orthopaedic programs that promote active lifestyles and academic advancement, often in the Northeast. Funding amounts are modest-to-midsize and focused on a small number of institutional grantees rather than many grassroots organizations.

    Focus Areas

    Undergraduate and graduate programs at private universities (e.g., Barnard College, Brandeis University)Medical and orthopaedic education and programs promoting active lifestylesUniversity-based research and professional schools (e.g., Thomas Jefferson University)College student support and institutional program funding in the Northeast

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated, institution-focused giving: a small portfolio of 4–5 mid-sized grants per cycle with some repeat funding to a health-focused grantee and larger single gifts to colleges/universities rather than many small awards.
