The Robert and Lisa Moser Family Foundation concentrates large, unrestricted gifts to a small number of regional institutions in upstate New York, prioritizing higher education, local healthcare, and youth services. Grants are typically general operating support and include repeat, multi-year-style funding to anchor organizations that serve the Saratoga/Greenfield area. The foundation favors institutions with strong local presence—colleges, a hospital foundation, a therapeutic children’s camp—and also supports Jewish secondary education in the region.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving to a small set of repeat grantees with large general operating grants rather than many small awards; geographically focused on upstate New York/Saratoga region.
The Robert and Lisa Moser Family Foundation Inc gives some of its largest support as general operating grants to a small set of regional institutions in upstate New York. Its recent record is led by seven-figure-style backing for Double H Ranch, a therapeutic children’s residential camp in Lake Luzerne, alongside major support for Union College in Schenectady. The pattern points to a foundation that funds core organizational needs rather than narrowly defined projects, with gifts reaching colleges, healthcare philanthropy, Jewish education, and local community organizations. The foundation’s recent grants show repeated support for the same institutions over multiple years, including Union College and Double H Ranch. It also reaches beyond its largest anchors to support a broader mix of local nonprofits such as Saratoga Hospital Foundation, Siena College, and The Mesivta High School of Greater. The grant descriptions are consistently marked general operating, which suggests flexibility for staffing, facilities, and program delivery infrastructure rather than restricted project funding. Across the portfolio, the foundation favors organizations with an established local role in the Saratoga and Greenfield area and nearby communities. That mix includes higher education institutions, healthcare-related charities, youth-serving programs, and Jewish secondary education. The grant list also shows occasional support for neighboring Pennsylvania-based Jewish organizations, but the overall picture remains concentrated in upstate New York.
Higher education is one of the clearest themes. In 2025, the foundation gave $600,000 to Union College in Schenectady for general operating support, and it also gave $250,000 to Siena College in Loudonville for the same purpose. Those gifts sit alongside a smaller 2023 grant of $100,000 to Siena College, indicating that college support is not a one-off. Youth and family services are another visible area. The largest recorded grant went to Double H Ranch in Lake Luzerne for general operating support, and the organization received another large gift in 2025. The foundation also supported YMCA Camp Chingachgook in Albany and Sponsor a Scholar in Saratoga Springs, both with general operating grants. Healthcare-related giving appears through Saratoga Hospital Foundation in Saratoga Springs and Albany Medical Center Foundation in Albany. The funder also supports Jewish education and Jewish community organizations through grants to The Mesivta High School of Greater and The Chevra Inc.

Typical grants cluster around a modest core with a few much larger awards: the p25 is $2,500, the median is $5,000, and the p75 is $25,000. Recent giving also includes several six-figure and near-six-figure general operating grants, showing a pattern of small community gifts alongside anchor support for select institutions. The recent record shows repeat funding to the same recipients across 2023 and 2025, including Union College, Double H Ranch, Siena College, Spa Catholic, Saratoga Hospital Foundation, and Albany Medical Center Foundation. That repeat pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. All listed grants are general operating support, and the foundation does not fund individuals or program-related investments.
Grantmaking is heavily concentrated in New York, which accounts for 92% of grants and is the top state by grant count. The recipient map reaches across upstate communities including Lake Luzerne, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, Loudonville, Albany, and Greenfield Center.

The portfolio is local in scope, but it is especially centered on the Saratoga/Greenfield area and nearby institutions.
