The Enoch Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on high-impact scientific and medical research, primarily funding neuropathology and dementia/Alzheimer’s work at a major academic medical center while also supporting Israeli scientific research through the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute. With only six grants totaling $1.2M, the foundation makes sizable, repeat gifts to a very small set of institutions, sometimes providing unrestricted support. Its giving signals a preference for funding established research institutions and specific investigators or programs rather than broad community-based causes.
The Enoch Foundation’s most distinctive pattern is its repeated, high-dollar support for a small group of scientific and medical institutions, especially work tied to neuropathology and Alzheimer’s research at NYU Langone Health System. One recent $200,000 grant backed research led by Dr. Wisniewsk, and the foundation also made unrestricted $200,000 gifts to both NYU Langone and the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science. That combination points to a funder that favors established research institutions and gives in substantial increments rather than spreading support widely. Its grantmaking also reaches beyond medicine into the arts, with recurring support for major New York cultural organizations. The Metropolitan Opera Association received grants of $135,000, $145,000, and $145,000 across three recent years, while The Carnegie Hall Corporation, the Philharmonic-symphony Society of New York, and the Whitney Museum of American Art also appear among the larger awards. The foundation’s recent record shows a narrow recipient base and a preference for general, unrestricted support alongside targeted research funding.
In medical research, The Enoch Foundation gave $200,000 to NYU Langone Health System for neuropathology, dementia, and Alzheimer disease research led by Dr. Wisniewsk. It also made a separate $200,000 unrestricted grant to NYU Langone Health System, showing support for both project-specific work and the institution itself. The foundation supports Israeli scientific research through the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science, with $200,000 unrestricted grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. In the arts, it has backed major New York institutions with unrestricted grants such as $145,000 to the Metropolitan Opera Association, $130,000 to The Carnegie Hall Corporation, and $120,000 to the Philharmonic-symphony Society of New York. It also made a $75,000 unrestricted grant to Waterside School Inc in Stamford.
Typical grants cluster at the upper end of the foundation’s range: p25 is $25,000, median is $50,000, and p75 is $92,750. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including NYU Langone Health System, the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science, and several New York arts institutions. The foundation is a grantmaker rather than an individual-giving or program-related-investment vehicle. Recent awards include both restricted project support and unrestricted institutional support.
