The Schorr Family Foundation concentrates its giving into a small number of large, targeted gifts, primarily supporting community cultural infrastructure and higher-education scholarship programs. Recent grants fund capital and safety upgrades for a regional theater and endow scholarships for a university pharmacy program, with repeat support to the same institutions. This indicates a preference for tangible, project-based impact and workforce/education investments rather than broadly distributed philanthropy.
Schorr Family Foundation gives in a compact, targeted way, with recent support tied to specific projects, scholarships, and emergency relief rather than broad operating portfolios. The largest recent award in the file is $70,000 to Goodwill Theatre Inc in Johnson City, New York, for the 2023 Momentum Campaign and Fire Sprinkler Project for Schorr Firehouse Stage, showing a clear interest in capital and safety work for arts facilities. The foundation also made a pair of $50,000 and $50,000 grants to the Foundation of the State University of New York At in Binghamton for School of Pharmacy scholarships, indicating repeat support for workforce development in health care education. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s giving touches cultural venues, university programs, food security, and crisis response, but usually through named projects or funds with specific purposes. That pattern suggests a preference for funding defined needs where the grant can be matched to a concrete outcome. The profile also shows repeat gifts to the same institutions, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
In arts and venue support, Schorr Family Foundation backed Goodwill Theatre Inc in Johnson City with $30,000 for the Sprinkler System Project, building on the larger firehouse-stage award. The foundation also supported Lighthouse Artcenter Inc in Tequesta twice in 2024, giving $15,000 for a Charitable Event and $10,000 for Plein Air Festival Sponsorship, which places event support alongside arts programming. In higher education, it gave $5,000 to the Foundation of the State University of New York At for the BU Pantry Program, adding student support to the earlier scholarship grants. Emergency and humanitarian funding is another thread: Save the Children Federation Inc received grants for the Early Steps to School Success program - California, the Afghanistan Crisis Children's Relief Fund, the Ukraine Relief fund, and Children's Emergency Fund Ukraine. Food security appears as well, including support for Food Bank for New York City and Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties Inc.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the largest awards: the distribution runs from a $1,000 25th percentile to a $2,500 median and $5,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent record also includes several larger project gifts, which means the foundation uses a mix of small grants and occasional higher-dollar awards for capital or scholarship purposes. Repeat grantees appear across 2023 and 2024, including the same theater, university foundation, arts center, and relief organizations, so the pattern is relationship-based rather than one-off. The foundation funds individuals and does not make program-related investments. Grants appear to be discretionary rather than application-driven, because the provided data does not show an open application process.

Concentrated, large-dollar grants to a very small number of repeat grantees (two organizations received multiple six-figure gifts); funding is project- and program-specific (capital improvements and scholarship endowments) rather than broad, year‑small operational support.
Notable grantees: GOODWILL THEATRE INC (Momentum Campaign; Schorr Firehouse Stage / fire sprinkler project), FOUNDATION OF THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT (School of Pharmacy Scholarship fund), SUNY School of Pharmacy Scholarship (project/endowment)
