The Elizabeth & Robert Rosenman Foundation concentrates its giving on reproductive rights and women’s history/culture, funding both advocacy and archival work that preserves and advances women's stories and health. Grants are directed to established organizations in New York and national reproductive-health groups, suggesting an interest in policy/advocacy as well as documenting women’s experiences. The foundation favors a small portfolio of repeat grantees that align with these themes rather than dispersed, one-off awards.
Modest number of mid-size grants concentrated among repeat grantees; mixes local New York funding with support for national reproductive-rights organizations.
The Elizabeth & Robert Rosenman Foundation’s recent giving is shaped by a steady emphasis on reproductive rights and women’s history, with repeated general-support grants to advocacy groups and institutions that preserve women’s stories. Among the clearest signals is its continuing support for the National Institute for Reproductive Health, which received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside repeated support for Schlesinger Library in Cambridge, where the foundation backed archival work with general support across multiple years. The pattern suggests a funder that values both policy-oriented reproductive health work and long-term preservation of women’s historical record. That theme extends beyond a single type of institution. The foundation also appears in the funding streams of Planned Parenthood New York City and PPGNY, indicating support for reproductive-health organizations serving New York communities. At the same time, grants to museums, libraries, and theater institutions show an interest in women’s history, culture, and public programming. The awards are typically modest in size, but the portfolio is consistent: general support, a small set of recurring grantees, and an identifiable focus on women’s health and women’s narratives.
In reproductive health policy and advocacy, the foundation gave $25,000 to National Institute for Reproductive Health for general support in 2024 and again in 2025. It also supported Election Verification Network with $2,000 in 2025, showing attention to civic issues alongside health advocacy. On the service-delivery side, it funded PPGNY with $45,000 in 2025 and $40,000 in 2024, both for general support. Planned Parenthood New York City also received $20,000 in 2023, indicating sustained interest in New York-based reproductive-health providers. The foundation’s cultural and archival giving includes $25,000 to Schlesinger Library in Cambridge in 2023, 2024, and 2025, plus grants to the New York Public Library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. These awards align with preservation of women’s history and broader women-centered public culture.
Typical grants are small to mid-sized, with a p25 of $750, a median of $1,000, and a p75 of $2,500. The recent record shows repeated support for the same organizations across multiple years, including several annual or near-annual awards rather than one-off gifts. Most grants are structured as general support, which points to flexible funding rather than tightly restricted project-only awards. The foundation is a private foundation rather than an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
