The Herzog Family Foundation concentrates support on health and local community well‑being in northeastern Ohio, with a strong emphasis on Alzheimer’s/dementia causes and hospital systems. Grants are relatively few but sizable, often repeat gifts to the same regional health care and community organizations, suggesting long‑term relationships rather than one‑off charity. The foundation appears motivated by medical care, patient services and local community health/recreation.
Concentrated giving: small number of medium‑to‑large grants, multiple repeat gifts to the same core grantees, focused on local/regional health and community organizations rather than wide distribution.
The Herzog Family Foundation’s recent giving is defined by repeated support for Alzheimer’s organizations in Ashtabula, including a $49,000 grant in 2025 to the Alzheimer’s Association and earlier awards of $45,446 in 2024 and $31,741 in 2023. That pattern sits alongside a broader regional portfolio centered on health, patient care, and local community well-being in northeastern Ohio. The foundation’s largest hospital-sector grants went to University Hospitals in Cleveland, with $27,000 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2025, while community-serving institutions such as the Ashtabula County YMCA also receive support. Most awards are made to organizations carrying out general activities, which points to flexible support for ongoing operations rather than tightly restricted projects. The mix of health care, dementia support, recreation, arts, and civic organizations suggests a funder that stays close to its region and favors established nonprofits with recurring needs. Grants are relatively few, but several organizations appear more than once across the record, indicating continuing relationships rather than isolated gifts.
A central theme is Alzheimer’s and dementia support. In 2025, the foundation gave $49,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association in Ashtabula to carry out the organization’s general activities, following similar gifts in 2024 and 2023. Health care institutions are another consistent area. University Hospitals in Cleveland received $27,000 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2025 for general activities, and University Hospital received $26,500 in 2023 for the same purpose. Community wellness also appears in local recreation and youth-serving grants, including $28,500 to Ashtabula County YMCA in 2023 and $7,500 to Ashtabula Little League in 2025. The portfolio also includes civic and cultural support, such as grants to the Civic Development Center and the Ashtabula Arts Center.
Typical awards are modest to mid-sized: p25 is $2,375, the median is $4,688, and p75 is $14,500. That distribution fits a pattern of concentrated support with a few larger operating grants. The recent record shows repeat recipients across multiple years, especially in dementia services, health care, and local civic groups, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation is a family foundation, and the grants are generally described as support to carry out the general activities of the organization, indicating flexible operating support. No application process is stated in the data.
