The Lubert Family Foundation concentrates its giving on child- and family-centered health and education initiatives, with a strong emphasis on pediatric medical care and medical education in the Philadelphia area alongside support for K–12 schools that serve low-income students. Grants also include food security and international maternal/child assistance, and a small share supports community/philanthropic infrastructure. Their support tends to be concentrated and sizable, often directed to institutions (hospitals, universities, charter schools, local children’s foundations) rather than grassroots nonprofits.
A repeated focus on children’s medical needs stands out in The Lubert Family Foundation Inc’s recent giving. In 2025, the foundation awarded $200,000 to CHOP Foundation for children’s medical needs, following a $162,000 grant to the same organization in 2024 for the same purpose. That pattern sits alongside other large commitments to pediatric care, education, and family support, including gifts to Community School of Naples and Naples Children and Educational Foundation in Naples, and a $100,000 grant to Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School. The foundation’s work also reaches medical education and research, with support for Thomas Jefferson University, and humanitarian aid through organizations serving women and children, immigrants, and people facing health crises. Its portfolio shows a preference for institutional partners such as hospitals, universities, charter schools, and established community foundations. The recent grants list also includes support for camps for underserved children, food security, and international medical relief, giving the foundation a profile shaped by child-centered services and health-related institutions rather than a single issue area.
Pediatric care is a core theme in the foundation’s recent grants. It gave $200,000 to CHOP Foundation in 2025 for children’s medical needs and $162,000 in 2024 for the same purpose. Education is another major strand: the foundation awarded $150,000 to Community School of Naples to support education for children and $100,000 to Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School to support a charter high school. Support for underserved youth also appears in a $78,000 grant to Camp Southern Ground for camp programs for underserved children and a $50,000 grant to Breakthrough of Philadelphia to help middle school students with high school selections. The foundation also backed food access with a $100,000 grant to The Pennsylvnia State University for food bank work.
Typical awards cluster in the low five figures: the p25 grant size is $7,500, the median is $10,000, and the p75 is $20,278. The recent grants list shows both recurring support and one-off gifts. CHOP Foundation appears in consecutive years, and Thomas Jefferson University and Howard University each received multiple grants across different years. The foundation also funds individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The grantmaking pattern is institution-heavy, with hospitals, universities, charter schools, and community foundations appearing often among recent recipients.

A small number of relatively large grants concentrated among institutional recipients; several repeat grants to Philadelphia medical institutions and targeted multi-location support (Philadelphia + Naples + occasional international).
