The Westminster Barrington Foundation concentrates its modest giving on healthcare institutions, favoring general/unrestricted support to established medical organizations. Both grants in this dataset fund Miami-based clinical and hospital entities — one focused on ophthalmology (Bascom Palmer Eye Institute) and the other a major public health system (Jackson Health). The foundation appears to prioritize direct operational support for medical care and research rather than program-specific projects.
Westminster Barrington Foundation’s largest recent grant in this dataset was $40,000 to the University of Miami’s Bascom Palmer Eye Institute for general and unrestricted support, which fits a broader pattern of giving to medical institutions rather than project-restricted programs. The foundation’s recent awards are mostly small, with repeated support for hospital systems, university health entities, and related clinical and research funds. In Miami, Jackson Health Foundation received multiple grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including a $33,000 award in 2024 and a $17,000 award in 2023, both listed as general and unrestricted. The foundation also funded the University of Miami at both the Miami and Coral Gables locations, again using unrestricted support, and made grants to Baptist Health South Florida Foundation, Miami Children’s Health System, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. A smaller set of grants extends beyond Florida to institutions such as the University of Rochester, Depaul Community Services, and World Child Cancer USA. The overall pattern suggests direct support for established health organizations, with particular attention to hospital-based care, specialty medicine, and medical research.
A major thread in the foundation’s giving is specialty eye care. The clearest example is the $40,000 grant to the University of Miami - Um Bascom Palmer Eye Institu for general and unrestricted support. Another medical-research and clinical-services stream appears in support for university health systems, including a $10,000 grant to the University of Rochester in 2025 that was allocated across general medicine, cancer, dermatology, neurology, and Meals on Wheels-related funds. The foundation also backs public hospital and community health infrastructure: Jackson Health Foundation Inc received a $33,000 grant in 2024 and a $17,000 grant in 2023, both unrestricted. Beyond health care, the dataset includes support for Jewish community and youth sports activity, such as a $5,000 sponsorship of Alper JCC Maccabi through Dave and Mary Alper Jewish.
Typical grant sizes cluster at the low end: p25 is $1,000, median is $1,000, and p75 is $1,200. That indicates a distribution shaped by many small grants, even though a few larger awards appear in the record. The same recipients recur across multiple years, including Jackson Health Foundation Inc, Temple Judea, Depaul Community Services Inc, and Dave and Mary Alper Jewish, which points to repeat support rather than one-off gifts. Grants in the dataset are mostly listed as general and unrestricted, with occasional named annual-fund or sponsorship language. The foundation also funds individuals, but the grant list provided here shows institutional recipients only.

Highly concentrated and targeted: very few grants (two) comprising the foundation's full giving, relatively large single gifts (~$33k–$40k), both unrestricted. Geographic focus appears to be Miami-area healthcare despite the foundation being based in Wilmington, DE; no evidence here of small, dispersed grants or long-tail giving.
Notable grantees: University of Miami - Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Jackson Health Foundation
The grants land entirely in the United States, with 100% of recorded awards going to U.S. recipients. Florida is the main recipient state in the list, especially Miami and Coral Gables. Rochester, New York also appears repeatedly through University of Rochester and Depaul Community Services Inc. Other recipient cities include Brookline, Boston, Golden, and Coral Gables, showing a national reach even though the largest concentration is in South Florida.
The recent grants tilt toward health-related institutions: Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Jackson Health Foundation Inc, University of Miami, Baptist Health South Florida Foundation Inc, Miami Children’s Health System Inc, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Inc all appear in the record. The foundation also funds Jewish community organizations and a few non-health groups such as museums and social services.
The distribution is very small-dollar. The 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $1,000, and the 75th percentile is $1,200. Larger awards do occur, including $40,000 and $33,000, but most grants are near the $1,000 level.
