The Weber Family Foundation concentrates its giving on pro‑Israel advocacy and education, Jewish religious learning, and selective support for higher education and medical research in Atlanta. Grants are predominantly unrestricted/general support to policy/advocacy groups and faith‑based educational institutions, with smaller occasional gifts to arts or local philanthropic partners. The foundation repeatedly funds a small set of national Israel‑focused organizations while also making notable local contributions to Emory and Atlanta Jewish learning institutions.
The Joseph and Felicia Weber Family Foundation Inc has a clear center of gravity in pro-Israel advocacy and Jewish education, and its recent grants show that pattern through repeated support for a small group of organizations. Among the largest awards on file are $100,000 to Aief - American Israel Education Foundation in 2025 and $75,000 grants to Foundation for Defense of Democracies in 2024 and American Israel Education Foundation in 2024. The foundation also backs Jewish religious learning at Atlanta Scholars Kollel, with multiple grants in the $35,000 to $50,000 range, and supports Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta with several awards including $75,000 and $40,000. Smaller grants extend to institutions such as Pressman Academy Building Fund and Cornell Lab of Ornithology, showing a narrower mix outside its main priorities. Most grants are general support, which suggests flexibility in how recipients use the funds rather than tightly restricted project-only awards. The foundation gave $1,348,500 in annual grants in the latest year on file, with a national reach and a recurring emphasis on a limited set of beneficiary types rather than broad programmatic diversification.
In pro-Israel policy and public diplomacy, the foundation gave $100,000 to Aief - American Israel Education Foundation in 2025 and $75,000 to Foundation for Defense of Democracies in 2024. It also supported CAMERA, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, with grants of $50,000 in 2023, $50,000 in 2024, and $40,000 in 2025. Jewish religious learning is another recurring area: Atlanta Scholars Kollel received $50,000 in 2023, $50,000 in 2024, and $35,000 in 2025. In Atlanta-based higher education and medical research, Emory University School of Medicine received $75,000 in 2023, $75,000 in 2024, and $40,000 in 2025. The foundation also made smaller gifts to organizations outside these core themes, including Pressman Academy Building Fund and Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,500, a median of $2,500, and a p75 of $5,000, even though the top awards are much larger. The pattern is concentrated rather than diffuse: the same recipients appear across multiple years, including American Israel Education Foundation, Foundation for Defense of Democracies, Atlanta Scholars Kollel, and Emory University School of Medicine. Grants are overwhelmingly general support. The foundation is a family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
