The Wayne & Arlene Chaplin Family Foundation appears to focus its philanthropy entirely on health care in Miami, evidenced by a single, substantial gift to the Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation. The foundation funds institutional medical causes (likely hospital support, patient services, and clinical programs) rather than a broad portfolio of charities. Their giving is local and institutionally focused, suggesting a preference for well-established medical centers.
Highly concentrated: a single large grant rather than many small awards; appears to make targeted institutional gifts (one-time or occasional significant contributions) to local medical institutions.
A $680,000 support contribution to Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation anchors the Wayne & Arlene Chaplin Family Foundation C/o Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits’ recent giving and shows the scale of its institutional support. The foundation’s grant history points to a clear concentration on Miami-area organizations, especially health care, Jewish communal life, education, and related local nonprofits. Its largest awards are paired with repeated support for organizations such as Temple Beth Sholom and Chabad Miami Beach, each receiving substantial contributions in more than one year. That pattern suggests a funder that favors ongoing relationships over one-time gifts. The portfolio also includes support for Jackson Health Foundation, United Way, Perez Art Museum Miami, and the University of Miami, indicating a mix of medical, civic, cultural, and educational beneficiaries. Recipients are clustered in Miami Beach, Miami, and Coral Gables, with occasional gifts beyond Florida, but the center of gravity remains local. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor support contributions rather than restricted project awards, reinforcing a straightforward institutional giving style.
Health care is the clearest thread in the foundation’s recent grants. In 2024, it gave $680,000 to Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation for support contribution, and it also gave $10,000 to Jackson Health Foundation in both 2023 and 2024. Jewish communal institutions are another visible area. Temple Beth Sholom received $83,965 in both 2023 and 2024, Chabad Miami Beach received $56,800 in 2024 after $53,600 in 2023, and Temple Emanuel received $5,950 in both years. Education and youth-serving organizations also appear in the list. Lehrman Community Day School received $40,000 in both 2023 and 2024, Miami Country Day School received $10,000 in 2024, and the National Society of Hebrew Day School received $15,600 in 2023 and $3,600 in 2024. Civic and cultural giving shows up through United Way, Perez Art Museum Miami, and the University of Miami.
Typical grants cluster around $10,000, with a p25 of $8,988, a median of $10,000, and a p75 of $32,500. The distribution is narrow at the middle and then stretches upward to a few much larger institutional awards, including the $680,000 grant in 2024. The recent record also shows repeat support across years for several recipients, including Temple Beth Sholom, Chabad Miami Beach, Lehrman Community Day School, Perez Art Museum Miami, Temple Emanuel, Jackson Health Foundation, Best Buddies International, United Way, the National Society of Hebrew Day School, and the University of Miami. That pattern points to recurring support rather than isolated gifts. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
