The Riehm Family Foundation concentrates its small portfolio on a narrow set of civic and social causes, with repeated, sizable gifts to the Anti-Defamation League and support for veteran services. Their giving suggests interest in anti-hate/anti-discrimination work and direct assistance or programming for veterans rather than broad philanthropic diversification. Grants are modest in number but meaningful in size relative to total giving, indicating targeted philanthropy to trusted organizations.
Concentrated giving to a very small set of repeat grantees, with multiple mid-sized gifts (roughly $12–15k) rather than many small or widely distributed grants.
The Riehm Family Foundation Inc has a compact grant portfolio built around repeated support for anti-defamation work and veteran services, with a $15,000 unrestricted grant in 2025 to the Anti Defamation League - DC Regional Office standing as the largest recent award in the data. The pattern is not broad diversification; it is concentrated support for a small set of organizations that appear more than once, including the Anti Defamation League in Washington, DC and Veterans on Deck in Charleston. That repetition suggests the foundation favors organizations it already knows and returns to them across years rather than spreading gifts widely. Its recent record also shows consistent support for other direct-service and civic organizations, including unrestricted funding and purpose-tagged grants in hunger relief and coastal conservation. The foundation’s gifts are typically in the five-figure range, which places a handful of recurring awards at the center of its annual giving. In practice, that means the portfolio mixes a few identity- and mission-driven grants with a limited number of local and regional charitable relationships, including South Carolina-based recipients and national nonprofits with regional offices.
Anti-hate and anti-discrimination work is a clear theme. The foundation gave $12,500 in 2024 to Anti Defamation League DC Regional Office and $12,500 in 2023 to Anti Defamation League DC, both unrestricted. It also backed the Anti Defamation League - NY Regional Office with a $10,000 unrestricted grant in 2025. Veteran support is another recurring area. Veterans on Deck received $13,000 in 2025, plus $10,000 in 2025, $7,500 in 2024, and $7,500 in 2023, all unrestricted. The foundation also supported Freedom Alliance with $10,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The data also includes direct-service and environmental grants. Second Helpings received $10,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2023 for alleviate hunger, while SC Coastal Conservation League received $10,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024 for protect coastal natural resources.
The Riehm Family Foundation Inc gives in relatively tight bands: p25 is $5,000, the median grant is $7,500, and p75 is $10,000. The recent record shows a mix of unrestricted support and purpose-specific grants, with most awards landing at $10,000 or below and a few larger gifts reaching $12,500, $13,000, and $15,000. The pattern also points to repetition: several recipients appear across multiple years, especially in the anti-defamation and veterans categories. The foundation funds individuals and makes no program-related investments.
