The Adam R Rose Foundation concentrates substantial, general-support grants to civic institutions in the New York metropolitan area, with a clear emphasis on public safety, health care, higher education and local civic amenities. Its largest gifts go to major institutions (police and fire foundations, a regional hospital, Yale) and to municipal or cultural organizations that serve local community infrastructure. Grants are sizable and targeted to established organizations rather than small grassroots groups.
The Adam R Rose Foundation’s largest recent gift in the data is a $245,000 general grant to the New York City Police Foundation in 2025, which reflects a strong pattern of support for public safety institutions. Across the recent grants listed, the foundation also backs the FDNY Foundation, National Policing Institute, National Police Foundation, and the National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial, alongside civic and cultural organizations in New York and Connecticut. Its giving is concentrated in established institutions rather than individual projects, and several awards are unrestricted general support. That approach shows up in education as well: the foundation gave Yale University $142,000 in 2023 and Yale School of Art $27,000 in 2025. It also supports local infrastructure and community-serving organizations such as the Town of Lewisboro, Northern Westchester Hospital Foundation, New York Botanical Garden, and Jewish, arts, and conservation groups in the region. The grant record points to a funder that uses relatively high-value, targeted gifts to sustain public safety, health, higher education, and local civic life.
Public safety is the clearest theme. The foundation gave $245,000 to the New York City Police Foundation in 2025, $60,000 to the FDNY Foundation in 2025, and $30,000 to the National Policing Institute in 2024, all as general support. Health care appears through institutional support for regional services. In 2023, it gave $142,299 to Northern Westchester Hospital Foundation, and then followed with a $25,000 grant in 2025. Higher education is another recurring area. Yale University received $142,000 in 2023, and Yale School of Art received $27,000 in 2025. The foundation also supports civic and conservation organizations, including $57,000 to the Town of Lewisboro in 2024 and $50,000 to New York Botanical Garden in 2023.
The grant record is weighted toward modest-to-mid-sized institutional gifts, with a typical range centered at $1,000 at the 25th percentile, $5,000 at the median, and $10,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list also includes several much larger general grants, showing that the foundation makes a small number of high-dollar awards alongside many smaller ones. Recipients appear across multiple years, including the New York City Police Foundation, Northern Westchester Hospital Foundation, Yale-related institutions, Greater New York Councils, Jazz Generation Inc, and Jazz Forum Arts. The foundation funds individuals is false, and it does not make program-related investments.
