The foundation concentrates its giving into a small number of sizable, unrestricted grants that prioritize medical research and Jewish communal life. Major support goes to a New York academic medical center and to cancer research, alongside significant gifts to a flagship synagogue and a public-dialogue organization, suggesting interest in health, Jewish institutions, and civic conversation. Grants are general operating in nature, indicating a preference for flexible funding to established organizations.
The Kenneth a Horowitz Family Foundation gives a concentrated set of unrestricted grants to a small group of institutions, with medical research and Jewish communal life at the center of its recent pattern. The largest recent award in the data is $155,000 to New York Weill Cornell Medical Center Fund Inc for general support, and the foundation also made repeat gifts to the same medical center in 2023 and 2025. That repeat support sits alongside other research funding, including grants to the National Cancer Institute Center for Cancer Research, Mayo Clinic, and the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation. The foundation’s giving also reaches major Jewish organizations such as Central Synagogue and American Friends of the Jewish Campus Berlin Inc, indicating an interest in institutional support within Jewish communal life. Several recent grants are directed to established civic and community organizations as well, including The Lord’s Place Inc and Global Empowerment Mission Inc. Across the recent grants list, the pattern is flexible general operating support rather than restricted project funding.
In academic medical research, the foundation gave $155,000 to New York Weill Cornell Medical Center Fund Inc for general support and $60,000 to Cornell University for general support. It also supported the National Cancer Institute Center for Cancer Research with $65,000 in 2025 and $40,000 in 2023, showing continued attention to biomedical research institutions. Cancer-related giving appears again through the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation, which received $40,000 in 2023 and $25,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Jewish communal support is another clear thread: Central Synagogue received $82,000 in 2023, $35,800 in 2024, and $36,500 in 2025, while American Friends of the Jewish Campus Berlin Inc received $50,000 in 2023. The foundation also made general support grants to Temple Israel and Friends of the Israel Defense Forces.
The typical grant size sits at $2,000 at the 25th percentile, $8,600 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent list shows several larger institutional awards above that range. The foundation’s giving is recurring rather than one-off in several cases: New York Weill Cornell Medical Center Fund Inc, Central Synagogue, The Lord’s Place Inc, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Mayo Clinic, the National Cancer Institute Center for Cancer Research, and the Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation all appear in more than one year. Grants are listed as GENERAL, pointing to unrestricted support. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
