The Reinhart Foundation makes a very small number of large, targeted gifts focused on local community resilience in Richmond and on alumni-directed higher education initiatives. The bulk of its recent giving is a multi-million-dollar designated fund held at the Community Foundation for a Greater Richmond for a “Ranch Recovery” purpose, while a substantial gift to Barnard College supports Class of ’73 priorities and a named journalism internship program. Overall the foundation favors high-dollar, mission-specific grants rather than broad, diffuse funding.
The Reinhart Foundation C/o the Community Foundation Inc centers a very small number of large, targeted grants, including a $1,026,016 distribution in 2025 to the Community Foundation for a Greater Richmond for the Reinhart Foundation Ranch Recovery Fund. That same year, it also made a $1,014,455 non-qualifying distribution to the Evelyn D. Reinhart Guest House Fund, reinforcing a pattern of designated, purpose-specific giving rather than broad discretionary support. Recent grants also show two other strong threads: Richmond community institutions and higher education. In 2024, Barnard College received $285,000 for the Class of ’73 Challenge and the Cynthia Reinhart Richards ’73 Journalism Internship Program, with a second Barnard gift of $85,000 in 2025 for the same internship program and challenge. In Richmond, the foundation gave $181,398 to the Byrd Theatre Foundation in 2025, including support for the HVAC system, and $165,461 to The Community Foundation Inc for charitable purposes. The overall pattern is concentrated, high-dollar, and tied to specific funds, campaigns, or named programs.
Community resilience is a major thread in the foundation’s giving. The largest recent grant, $1,026,016 to the Community Foundation for a Greater Richmond, was designated for the Reinhart Foundation Ranch Recovery Fund, placing local recovery work at the center of its recent activity. The foundation also supports health and human-services providers in Richmond. It gave $50,000 to YWCA of Richmond for the domestic violence program, Sprout School, and a supportive housing capital campaign, and $50,000 to Virginia League for Planned Parenthood for general purposes and a new clinic on Chamberlayne Ave. A separate $45,000 grant to Crossover Healthcare Ministry covered general purposes and campaign support. Arts and preservation appear as another lane. Grants to Byrd Theatre Foundation and Hudson Opera House included HVAC work, preservation-architect services, exhibit construction, and production support, showing interest in both building infrastructure and program delivery.
The foundation’s recent grant sizes are tightly clustered, with a typical gift around $10,000 median, $5,000 at the 25th percentile, and $20,000 at the 75th percentile. That distribution sits alongside a few much larger designated awards above $1 million. Its giving shows repeat relationships across multiple years rather than one-off checks. The Community Foundation Inc, Barnard College, Virginia Supportive Housing, Virginia League for Planned Parenthood, Caritas, Hudson Opera House, and Soar365 all appear in more than one year. The foundation is structured as a foundation making grants through a community foundation vehicle, and it also funds individuals. No application process is stated in the data.

Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a very small set of recipients — repeat funding to a local community foundation via a designated fund and a one-off major gift to a specific college/program. Few grants overall, emphasis on designated/program-specific support.
Notable grantees: Community Foundation for a Greater Richmond (Reinhart Foundation Ranch Recovery Fund), Barnard College (Class of ’73 Challenge), Barnard College (Cynthia Reinhart Richards ’73 Journalism Internship Program)
Grantmaking is heavily concentrated in Virginia, where 65% of grants go and where the top giving state by count is located. Richmond appears most often, with repeated grants to organizations such as The Community Foundation Inc, Byrd Theatre Foundation, YWCA of Richmond, Virginia Supportive Housing, and Daily Planet Health Services. Outside Virginia, New York receives a smaller but visible share through Barnard College in New York City and Hudson-area cultural and preservation organizations such as Hudson Opera House and The Hudson Athens Lighthouse Preservation Committee. All recipient grants in the dataset are in the United States.
Recent grants favor Richmond-based community, health, housing, and cultural organizations, including The Community Foundation Inc, Byrd Theatre Foundation, YWCA of Richmond, Virginia Supportive Housing, Virginia League for Planned Parenthood, and Crossover Healthcare Ministry. Higher education also appears through Barnard College in New York.
The reported distribution centers on smaller awards: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $20,000. Those figures sit alongside a few large designated grants above $1 million.
Yes. Barnard College appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Virginia Supportive Housing appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Virginia League for Planned Parenthood appears in 2023 and 2025; and Caritas, Hudson Opera House, and Soar365 also recur across multiple years.
The data shows community recovery, domestic violence services, supportive housing, primary care and clinic support, arts and preservation work, and college internships. Examples include the Reinhart Foundation Ranch Recovery Fund, YWCA of Richmond’s domestic violence program, Virginia League for Planned Parenthood’s new clinic on Chamberlayne Ave., and Barnard College’s journalism internship program.
Virginia is the main giving state, accounting for 65% of grants. Richmond recipients make up much of that pattern, while New York recipients appear less frequently through Barnard College and Hudson-area cultural and preservation organizations.
