The Kimmelman Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a small number of large, broadly‑purposed grants, with a clear emphasis on sports-related institutions and selective support for education and children's health. Recipients are often well‑known national or regional nonprofits tied to athletics (especially tennis) and elite secondary education. Grants are typically designated for general charitable purposes rather than restricted programmatic funding.
A $483,333 grant to Blair Academy stands out as the largest recent award from The Kimmelman Family Foundation C/o Rosanne Migliorino and shows the scale at which it supports a small set of favored institutions. The foundation’s recent giving is concentrated in general charitable purposes, with many awards directed to organizations linked to tennis, youth sports, and selective education philanthropy. Blair Academy appears more than once in the recent grants list, including separate support for Blair in Kenya, which points to an ongoing relationship rather than a one-time gift. Sports organizations form a clear thread in the portfolio. The foundation has backed the USTA Foundation, the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and TGR Live, along with other athletics-related charities such as the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation and Play Rugby USA. It also supports children’s health and broader community-serving institutions, including Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation and Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation. Across the list, many grants are designated for general charitable purposes, indicating flexible support rather than tightly restricted project funding.
Tennis and youth sports are a major theme. In 2025, the foundation gave $225,000 and $150,000 to TGR Live, plus $125,000 to the International Tennis Hall of Fame, all for general charitable purposes. It also supported the USTA Foundation with $150,000 in 2024, $70,000 in 2025, $25,000 in 2023, and $20,000 in 2024. Education is another recurring area. The foundation’s largest recent award was $483,333 to Blair Academy for general charitable purposes, and it also gave $25,000 to Blair in Kenya in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Children’s health appears in the portfolio as well, including $150,000 to Nicklaus Childrens Health Care Foundation in 2025 and $50,000 to Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation in 2025.
Typical grant size sits at $11,250 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $50,000 at the 75th percentile, even though the recent list also includes several larger awards. The pattern suggests a mix of recurring support and one-off gifts: TGR Live, the USTA Foundation, Blair in Kenya, and Miami Marlins Foundation Inc each appear in multiple years. The foundation gives through a family foundation structure and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grant descriptions in the recent list are consistently framed as general charitable purposes, which points to flexible support rather than narrowly restricted project grants.
