About Rostair Foundation C/O Todd Herman
ROSTAIR FOUNDATION c/o TODD HERMAN shows a clear preference for repeat support to a small circle of community nonprofits, with several organizations appearing across multiple years and grant sizes that stay in a relatively modest range. One of the largest patterns in the record is sustained giving to Polywogs Charities Inc, which received $12,500 in 2023 and $15,000 in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation also backed Healthy Newsworks in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside repeated support for Tiny Wpa, Bridging the Gap, Snipes Farms, and Agahozo Shalom Youth Village. The grants point to a mix of children’s enrichment, health education, and community arts or public-interest projects, with awards often structured as small operating or general-purpose gifts rather than large program-specific commitments. That pattern suggests a funder that returns to the same organizations over time and spreads support across a limited set of local or regional nonprofits rather than a broad portfolio of recipients. The mix of grantees includes schools, museums, youth-serving organizations, clinics, and arts institutions.

Health education is another consistent thread: Healthy Newsworks received $10,000 in 2023 and again in 2024 and 2025, reflecting multi-year support for its work. Community arts and culture also show up through awards such as $6,000 to Bristol Riverside Theatre in 2025 and $10,000 to the African American Museum of Bucks County in 2023, with another $4,000 grant to that museum in 2024.
