About Giorgi Family Foundation
The Giorgi Family Foundation concentrates its giving into a small number of large grants that span faith-based international relief, higher education, local social services, and major arts institutions. The foundation shows a clear religious/philanthropic bent—especially support for Orthodox Christian humanitarian work—while also backing a regional refugee/social services provider and prominent cultural and university beneficiaries. Grants are few but substantial, and several recipients receive repeat funding.

About Giorgi Family Foundation
The Giorgi Family Foundation’s recent giving is marked by repeated seven-figure support for International Orthodox Christian Charities, including three grants of $1,200,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That consistency points to a foundation that favors sustained support rather than isolated gifts, especially for Orthodox Christian humanitarian work. Alongside that flagship relationship, the foundation has made large gifts to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania and to Safe Berks, showing that its portfolio extends beyond faith-based relief into higher education and local social services. The foundation’s grant pattern also reaches into culture and arts institutions. Recent awards include funding for New York City Ballet Inc, American Friends of the Louvre Inc, Franklin Institute, and The Barnes Foundation, which places major arts patronage alongside human services and education in its portfolio. The same list includes Berks Encore, St Joseph Regional Health Network, Hope Rescue Mission, Camfed USA Foundation, Girl Up Initiative Uganda, and Literacy Classics of the United States, indicating a mix of regional, national, and international nonprofit beneficiaries under a single family foundation.
What Giorgi Family Foundation Funds
Orthodox Christian humanitarian relief is a defining thread in the foundation’s recent record. International Orthodox Christian Charities received $1,200,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, all listed as general donations. That repeated support places religiously affiliated international aid at the center of the portfolio. Higher education is another clear area of support. The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania received $1,750,000 in 2023 and another $250,000 in 2025 as general donations. In local social services, Safe Berks in Reading received $342,405 in 2023, $424,431 in 2024, and $437,341 in 2025. The foundation also backs arts and cultural institutions. New York City Ballet Inc received $436,000 in 2024, while The Barnes Foundation received $100,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2025. These grants sit alongside support for the Franklin Institute and American Friends of the Louvre Inc.
