The Kaplan Family Private Foundation concentrates on large, local operating grants that sustain key community institutions in the Newburgh/Hudson Valley area. Their philanthropy prioritizes healthcare capacity, faith-based community life, and local higher education, providing unrestricted support to organizations that serve regional needs.
A defining feature of The William and Elaine Kaplan Family Private Foundation is its reliance on large operating grants to sustain core institutions in the Newburgh and Hudson Valley area. The single largest recent award in the data is $2,428,000 to St Lukes Cornwall Hospital for operating support, a signal that healthcare capacity sits near the center of the foundation’s giving. Other substantial support reaches local anchors such as Kol Yisrael and Mount Saint Mary’s College, each receiving major operating grants in recent years. The foundation also funds organizations tied to community life and services, including Newburgh Armory Unity Center, Congregation Agudas Israel, Food Bank of the Hudson Valley, and Cornerstone Family Healthcare. Its recipient list shows a mix of hospitals, faith communities, colleges, housing and human-service groups, and local cultural or environmental institutions. The pattern is not limited to one cause area; instead, the foundation backs organizations that function as recurring infrastructure for nearby residents. Across the recent grants file, the portfolio is local in character and centered on sustaining institutions rather than short-term projects.
Healthcare is one of the clearest themes in the portfolio. In 2023, the foundation gave $2,428,000 to St Lukes Cornwall Hospital for operating support, and in 2025 it added $187,500 to Cornerstone Family Healthcare for operating support. Education also appears through institutional support: Mount Saint Mary’s College received $401,800 in 2025 for operating support, while the Education Foundation of OCCC received $250,320 in 2025 for operating support. Faith-based and community-serving organizations are another major line of giving. Kol Yisrael received $572,393 in 2025 and $380,000 in 2023, both for operating support, and Congregation Agudas Israel received $211,169 in 2025 and $100,300 in 2023. The foundation also backed community access and family services through Newburgh Armory Unity Center and Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh.
Typical grant sizes cluster around the middle of the low-to-mid six figures, with a p25 of $2,500, a median of $11,000, and a p75 of $48,750. The recent grants list shows both small awards and very large operating grants, including one multi-million-dollar hospital grant and multiple gifts above $100,000. The pattern is clearly recurring: several organizations appear in more than one year, including Kol Yisrael, Mount Saint Mary’s College, Newburgh Armory Unity Center, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh, Congregation Agudas Israel, and Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties. The foundation is a private family foundation and makes grants rather than program-related investments. It also funds individuals, and the geographic pattern is strongly local, with 90% of grants to recipients in New York.
