The Stuntz Family Foundation concentrates its giving on New York–area cultural institutions and civic nonprofits, while also supporting anti-poverty intermediaries and a small amount of healthcare in communities it has ties to. Its largest, repeated gifts go to public media and museum institutions, with additional support for poverty-fighting organizations and at least one community hospital. The foundation gives relatively few, sizable grants and frequently makes repeat awards to the same organizations.
Concentrated portfolio with a small number of mid-to-large grants, multiple repeat awards to flagship cultural and civic grantees, and occasional support for healthcare and philanthropic intermediaries.
Repeated general-support grants to New York Public Radio and the National Air and Space Museum show the Stuntz Family Foundation’s pattern clearly: it backs institutions it can support over multiple years, often with flexible funding rather than project-specific awards. The foundation’s recent giving also includes sustained support for Robin Hood, which places anti-poverty work alongside cultural and educational institutions in its portfolio. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s awards are usually modest to mid-sized, but they recur. That makes the Stuntz Family Foundation look less like a one-time sponsor and more like a steady donor to organizations it has chosen to keep in its orbit. Public media is one visible lane, with New York Public Radio receiving several grants across different years. Another is museum and science education, where the National Air and Space Museum appears more than once. The foundation also supports civic and community-serving nonprofits, including organizations tied to poverty relief, Jewish community services, and health-related causes. The mix suggests a regional family foundation that uses general operating support to help a small set of institutions maintain continuity.
Public media is one of the clearest areas of support. The foundation gave $75,000 to New York Public Radio in 2025 for general support, after earlier general-support awards of $50,000 in 2023 and $35,000 in 2023. Science and museum education is another thread. The National Air and Space Museum received $50,000 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2023, both listed as general support. Anti-poverty work also appears in the grants. Robin Hood received $35,000 in 2025 for general support, and Robin Hood Foundation received $35,000 in 2023 and $15,000 in 2023. The foundation also makes smaller general-support grants to health and community organizations, including $31,500 to Nantucket Cottage Hospital in 2024 and $25,000 to Westchester Jewish Community Services in 2023.
The typical grant size is small to mid-sized: the p25 is $2,500, the median is $5,000, and the p75 is $10,000. The recent list also shows a layer of larger awards at $25,000 to $75,000, mostly for general support. Giving is recurring rather than one-off. Several organizations appear in multiple years, including New York Public Radio, the National Air and Space Museum, Robin Hood, and Congregation Kol Ami. The foundation funds nonprofits, not individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The grants shown are largely unrestricted or core-support style awards.
