The H & F Baker Foundation gives in a highly concentrated way, with the vast majority of funding flowing to a small set of elite universities and Jewish institutions. Stanford University is by far the foundation’s dominant beneficiary, but the rest of the portfolio shows a strong New York and Jewish communal profile, including synagogues, campus Jewish life, rabbinical training, and Jewish learning organizations. It also supports a smaller number of health, arts, and family-focused causes, often through repeat grants to long-standing partners.
