    About Stern Sidney Memorial Tuw

    This foundation made a single, very large grant ($1.83M) from its Saint Louis, MO base during the reporting period. Because the recorded grantee is listed only as “SEE ATTACHED,” the recipient and topical focus are not disclosed; the foundation therefore appears to concentrate its giving into major, likely one-off gifts rather than many small awards. The pattern suggests support for a specific project, capital campaign, or designated beneficiary rather than broad, diversified grantmaking.

    Focus Areas

    Undisclosed — recipient not named (see attached)Likely major capital campaign or designated memorial project (inferred from single large award)Possible endowment or one-time program seed funding (inferred from grant size)

    Giving Approach

    Highly concentrated: a single, large grant rather than multiple awards. The foundation appears to favor one-off, sizable commitments to a designated recipient or project; repeat or diversified funding cannot be established from this data.

    About Stern Sidney Memorial Tuw

    Stern Sidney Memorial Tuw’s recent giving is defined by a single $1.83 million grant to a grantee listed as “See Attached” for general support, signaling a capacity for concentrated, high-dollar awards rather than only routine annual checks. That large award stands apart from the rest of the file and suggests the foundation can direct substantial resources to a specific purpose or beneficiary in a given year. Alongside that outlier, the foundation also made a series of general-operating grants to colleges, Jewish communal organizations, and cultural or educational nonprofits, including The UCLA Foundation and the University of Hawaii Foundation. The recipient mix points to support for institutions that sustain campus life, humanities, health, and community-based services. Grants in the recent record also reach Swarthmore College, Hillel organizations, and groups such as T’ruah and the Union for Reform Judaism, showing a pattern of backing established nonprofits with unrestricted or core support. The overall profile is less about many small awards and more about a few meaningful grants across education, Jewish communal life, and related nonprofit infrastructure.

    What Stern Sidney Memorial Tuw Funds

    In higher education, Stern Sidney Memorial Tuw backed The UCLA Foundation with $63,000 in 2025 and $62,000 in 2024, then supported the University of Hawaii Foundation with $78,500 in 2024 and $60,750 in 2025. That same institutional focus appears in gifts to Swarthmore College, which received $16,000 in 2024, $14,750 in 2025, and $12,000 in 2025. Jewish communal organizations are also a recurring theme: the foundation gave $25,000 to Jewish Community Services in Honolulu in 2024 and $17,500 to Jewish Community Services of Hawaii in 2025. Additional support went to Hillel the Foundation for Jewish and to Hillel Hawaii, both on a general-operating basis. The record also includes grants to T’ruah and the Union for Reform Judaism, reinforcing a connection to Jewish organizational life and campus or community-based institutions.

    How Stern Sidney Memorial Tuw Gives

    Typical awards are relatively modest compared with the largest grant: the p25 is $2,500, the median is $3,400, and the p75 is $5,000. The file also shows that the foundation can make much larger exceptions, including the $1.83 million general-support grant in 2023. Recipients appear across multiple years in several cases, including The UCLA Foundation, the University of Hawaii Foundation, Swarthmore College, and the Colburn School, which points to repeat support rather than a strictly one-time pattern. Stern Sidney Memorial Tuw is classified as a regular funder, and the grants are recorded as general operating support rather than program-restricted awards.
