The Corky & Rick Steiner Family Foundation concentrates its giving exclusively to the local Jewish federation, directing unrestricted/pledge support to Jewish communal life. All recorded grants went to a single recipient in the philanthropic/voluntarism sector, indicating a focused commitment to sustaining Jewish community infrastructure. This suggests the foundation prioritizes community-level Jewish services and federation-led programming rather than broad diversified philanthropy.
Highly concentrated giving: 100% of documented dollars and two grants went to a single grantee (repeat/pledge support), indicating targeted, small-scale philanthropic practice rather than diversified funding across many organizations.
The Corky & Rick Steiner Family Foundation Philip H Steinerjoseph Steinertrustees centers its giving on a single local Jewish federation, with the largest recent grants going to Jewish Federation Pledge in Cincinnati in both 2023 and 2025. That repeated pledge support signals a stable relationship with Jewish communal infrastructure rather than a broad, multi-issue portfolio. Beyond that anchor, the foundation’s recent grants show support for Cincinnati-based institutions across education, arts, health, and civic life. Recipients include Walnut Hills High School Alumni Foundation, United Way, Isaac M Wise Temple, Freestore Foodbank, and The Nancy and David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center. The pattern suggests a foundation that uses unrestricted support to reinforce organizations tied to the Cincinnati Jewish community and to other local institutions connected to community life. Its grant list also includes some support outside Cincinnati, but the overall record remains highly concentrated and local. With annual giving of $427,500 and assets of $2,468,415, the foundation’s grantmaking is modest in size and closely tied to a small set of recurring beneficiaries.
Jewish communal support is the clearest theme in the record. The foundation gave $50,000 to Jewish Federation Pledge in 2025, following the same amount in 2023, both marked unrestricted. That repeated pledge points to sustained support for federation-led Jewish life in Cincinnati. Education also appears as a recurring theme through gifts to Walnut Hills High School Alumni Foundation - Class 1961 and Walnut Hills High School Alumni Foundation - Class 1964 Performing Arts Fun, each receiving $10,000 in both 2023 and 2025. Community health and human services show up through unrestricted support to United Way, Freestore Foodbank, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and Shriners Children's Ohio. Cultural and memory institutions are present as well, including Artswave, Ensemble Theater, and The Nancy and David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center.
Typical grant size is small to mid-sized: the p25 is $1,000, the median is $3,000, and the p75 is $5,000. The recent record shows a few larger commitments at $50,000 and a long tail of $5,000 to $10,000 grants. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Jewish Federation Pledge, United Way, Walnut Hills High School Alumni Foundation - Class 1961, Walnut Hills High School Alumni Foundation - Class 1964 Performing Arts Fun, Whhs Alumni Foundation - Steiner Family Scholarship Fund, Artswave, Reds Community Fund, Camp Thunderbird, and Tulane University. The foundation gives unrestricted support and pledge support, with no indication of individual giving or program-related investments.
