The Gerald B Shreiber Foundation concentrates its giving on large institutional gifts to New Jersey-based health care and higher-education institutions, particularly supporting pediatric hospital needs and university engineering programs. The foundation favors substantial, targeted investments in a small number of established organizations rather than broad, diffuse grantmaking. Its grants suggest a local philanthropic focus on strengthening clinical services and technical/engineering education in the state.
Very concentrated giving: a small number of large grants to major local institutions (likely capital or programmatic support) rather than many small awards; focused on repeat types of institutions rather than grassroots organizations.
The Gerald B Shreiber Foundation’s 2023 giving is marked by a single large health-care grant: $655,000 to Childrens Hospital Foundation in Philadelphia for general support. That gift sits alongside a second major commitment to Rutgers U - School of Engineering in New Brunswick, showing a pattern of backing institutions that serve children, patients, and higher education. The foundation’s recent grants also include support for Jewish communal organizations, animal welfare groups, and guided-dog and animal-rescue programs, but the largest awards are clearly directed to established institutions rather than small, project-based efforts. Across the recent grant list, the foundation appears to favor unrestricted or general support. Several grants are sized in the tens of thousands, with larger institutional awards reaching well above that range. The mix of recipients suggests a portfolio built around hospital care, engineering education, and selected community institutions, with New Jersey organizations prominent in the record. In practice, the foundation gives through targeted gifts to organizations that already have operating scale and defined missions, rather than through many small, dispersed grants.
In health care, The Gerald B Shreiber Foundation made its largest recent gift to Childrens Hospital Foundation in Philadelphia, awarding $655,000 for general support. That same institutional emphasis appears in New Brunswick, where Rutgers U - School of Engineering received $250,000 for general support. The foundation also backs Jewish communal and advocacy organizations. In 2023, it gave $100,000 to Central Fund of Israel in Cedarhurst and another $100,000 to Jewish Community Foundation of La in Los Angeles, both for general support, and $50,000 to Zionist Organization of America in New York for general support. Animal welfare and service-animal work are also present. Grants include $100,000 to Awf Sniffing Dog Program in Washington, DC, $30,000 to Israel Guide Dog Center for the Blind in Warrington, and $26,000 to Crisis Response Canines in Sicklerville, each listed as general support.
Typical grants cluster at modest-to-midrange levels: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $2,500, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. The recent list also shows repeated support to some recipients in the same year, including two separate $50,000 grants to Americans for Ben-gurion University and two separate grants to Zionist Organization of America and Zoa. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and does not make program-related investments. Recent grants are consistently labeled general support, indicating flexible funding rather than project-specific awards.
