The Victor and Pearl Tumpeer Foundation appears to make a small number of modest-to-mid sized grants focused on local/regional community needs in New Jersey and nearby areas. Their giving supports cultural heritage projects, health care institutions, children's services and peer philanthropic organizations, with an emphasis on causes that serve community wellbeing rather than national initiatives. They show a willingness to repeat support to favored local projects (e.g., the Catskills museum).
A repeated pattern in the Victor and Pearl Tumpeer Foundation’s giving is support for the Community for Catskills Resort Museum in Ellenville, New York, including grants of $22,500 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024. That kind of follow-on support sits alongside a broader portfolio of modest-to-mid sized grants for community, cultural, health, and children’s services in New Jersey, New York, and nearby states. The foundation’s recent awards include support for Cooperman Barnabas Medical in Livingston, New Jersey; Advocates for Children of New Jersey in Newark; and The Phil Ramone Orchestra in New York. It also funds peer charitable organizations, local scholarship activity, and direct-service groups. The grant record suggests an interest in institutions that serve specific community needs rather than national campaigns. Grants are often flexible-purpose or program-specific, and several awards land in the five-figure range, with the largest recent grant going to the Catskills museum project.
Cultural heritage is one visible thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $22,500 in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024 to Community for Catskills Resort Museum in Ellenville, New York, signaling continued support for preserving Catskills resort history. Health care is another area: Cooperman Barnabas Medical in Livingston, New Jersey, received $20,000 in 2024 and $10,000 in 2025. Children’s services appear as well, with Advocates for Children of New Jersey in Newark receiving $16,500 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024, followed by another $5,000 award in 2025. The foundation also supports education-related efforts, including $8,000 to By Kids in New York for educational purposes.
Typical grant size is modest: p25 is $1,000, median is $2,000, and p75 is $6,250. The record includes both small awards and larger five-figure grants, with some recipients appearing across multiple years, which points to selective repeat support rather than one-time-only giving. The foundation is a private foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its grants are generally described as charitable, with some program-specific categories such as children services and medical and educational research. No application process is shown in the provided data.
