The Thalheimer-Eurich Charitable Fund gives very targeted, locally focused support to the Jewish community in Baltimore, demonstrated by a single large gift establishing an Alvin Thalheimer Memorial Endowment at the city’s Jewish federation. Their giving appears to prioritize sustaining Jewish communal infrastructure and memorialized philanthropy rather than broad, diversified grantmaking. This suggests the foundation functions as a vehicle for a named family legacy within the Baltimore Jewish philanthropic sector.
A defining feature of the Thalheimer-Eurich Charitable Fund Inc is its sustained support for Baltimore’s Jewish communal infrastructure, including a $150,000 gift in 2023 to the Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore for the Alvin Thalheimer Memorial Endowment Fund. That same local federation appears again in the recent grants list with funding for the Terrill Auditorium, the Mental Health Campaign, and the Emergency Fund for Israel, showing a pattern of recurring support for Jewish community institutions and named funds. The fund also backs education-linked efforts through Johns Hopkins University, including the Thalheimer Graduate Entrepreneurship Fund and JHTV/Thalheimer Graduate Entrepreneurship Awards fund, tying family legacy to higher-education programming. Beyond Jewish communal giving, the foundation supports Baltimore-based education and child-development initiatives, such as the University of Maryland Baltimore Foundation, The Family Tree, Community College of Baltimore County Foundation, and Improving Education Inc. Its recent grants also extend to selected national Jewish and education organizations, including Moishe House, J Street Education Fund Inc, and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee Inc.
In higher education and entrepreneurship, the foundation gave $50,000 in 2023 and $35,000 in 2024 to Johns Hopkins University for the Thalheimer Graduate Entrepreneurship Fund and the JHTV/Thalheimer Graduate Entrepreneurship Awards fund. In early childhood and family support, it awarded $25,000 in 2025 to the University of Maryland Baltimore Foundation Inc for the Parent, Infant, Early Childhood Team at the UMB School of Social Work and $25,000 to The Family Tree Inc for BCCCRC support. Baltimore K–12 and student success also appears in the grant list: Improving Education Inc received $25,000 for the All Children Ready in Baltimore fund, and the Community College of Baltimore County Foundation I received $25,000 for the Male Student Success Initiative. The foundation also supports Jewish education and overseas programming through Moishe House, with grants of $20,000 in 2023 and $25,000 in 2025.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a modest mid-five-figure range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $13,000, and the 75th percentile is $20,000. The recent list shows repeated support for the same organizations across multiple years, including Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University, Duke University, Maine Community Foundation Inc, and Moishe House, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The fund is classified as a regular funder, funds individuals, and makes no program-related investments. The grant mix includes general and unrestricted support, designated gifts, endowment funding, and project-specific awards.

Highly concentrated: one large, local endowment grant to a single Jewish federation (memorial-focused, likely one-time or occasional legacy gifts rather than many small grants).
