About Hearthland Foundation C/O Breslauer Rutman & Anderson
The Hearthland Foundation C/o Breslauer Rutman & Anderson Inc gives large, strategic grants across civic life, health, arts, and Jewish community causes. Its recent portfolio includes a $2.475 million grant to Righteous Persons Foundation for Jewish work and a $2 million grant to Children's Hospital of Los Angeles for health, showing a mix of community-based and institution-level support. The foundation also backs civic and narrative organizations, including the Barack Obama Foundation, The Studio Museum in Harlem, and World Central Kitchen, alongside groups working in journalism, bridging divides, racial justice, and humanitarian aid. The pattern suggests a funder that favors established organizations with broad public reach rather than many small awards. In the recent grants list, several recipients appear at seven-figure levels, including major national nonprofits and prominent city-based institutions. Its giving covers both Los Angeles anchors and organizations in New York, Chicago, Washington, and other U.S. cities. The stated focus areas point to Jewish identity and communal initiatives, pediatric health care, civic engagement and voter mobilization, and Black contemporary art, with additional support for climate, education, and storytelling-oriented work.
