The Rosenfield Family Foundation concentrates its modest grantmaking on education, with a pronounced emphasis on supporting a single higher-education institution alongside targeted community and faith-based education projects. Most dollars flow to Ohio State University for educational purposes, while smaller repeat grants support synagogue-based education and veterans' leadership/education programming. The pattern suggests donor interest in institutional higher education, Jewish community education, and veteran-focused educational services.
Concentrated and targeted: a large majority of funding goes to one primary beneficiary (repeat grants to Ohio State University), with a few smaller, repeat or one-off grants to faith-based and veterans organizations; overall modest number of grants and dollars.
A single institution anchors the Rosenfield Family Foundation’s giving: Ohio State University Foundation received the largest recent grants, including $55,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2025, both for education-related purposes. That pattern is joined by smaller grants to a handful of recurring recipients, showing a foundation that uses a compact portfolio rather than a broad, dispersed program. The grant list points to education as the core theme, with repeat support for higher education, scholarship funds, and education/research work. Beyond the university, the foundation has also funded Temple Beth Shalom in Hastings, New York for education/research and general donation purposes, and the National Veterans Leadership Foundation for education/research. Smaller awards go to community institutions and local organizations in Irvington and Westchester County, alongside gifts to groups such as Girls Inc of Westchester County and the Elmont Memorial Hs Class of 69 Scholarship Fund. The overall record suggests a family foundation with a limited number of priorities and a preference for direct, straightforward grants to established organizations.
Higher education is the clearest focus in the grant record. The Rosenfield Family Foundation gave $50,000 in 2025 and $40,000 in 2024 to Ohio State University Foundation for education/research, and also made a $2,500 grant to Columbus Foundation for education/research. The foundation also supports Jewish education through Temple Beth Shalom in Hastings, New York, with $10,000 grants in both 2024 and 2025, plus a $5,000 general donation in 2023. Veterans-related education appears as another recurring theme: National Veterans Leadership Foundation received $10,000 in 2025 for education/research. The record includes scholarship support as well, including a $2,000 grant to Elmont Memorial Hs for the Class of 69 Scholarship Fund.
Grant sizes are tightly clustered. The typical grant is $2,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $5,000 at the 75th percentile. That means many awards are modest, while a few larger education grants drive the total. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Ohio State University Foundation, Temple Beth Shalom, and Irvington Volunteer Ambulance Corp, which points to repeat support rather than purely one-time gifts. The foundation is a family foundation and funds individuals, but the recent grant list shows its giving in institutional and community-based grants.
