The E R Roberts Family Foundation concentrates support on prominent institutional beneficiaries in health care and the arts, making relatively few but substantial donations. Their recent giving is split mainly between a major hospital and leading cultural organizations, with repeated grants to the same beneficiaries indicating sustained relationships rather than one-off gifts.
Concentrated giving: a small number of mid-to-large unrestricted donations, frequent repeat grants to the same institutional grantees, split primarily between health care and cultural organizations.
The Er Roberts Family Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated support for New York Presbyterian Hospital and Manhattan Theatre Club, both receiving multiple donations across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That repeat pattern points to a small set of institutional relationships rather than a broad spread of recipients. The foundation gives in health care and the arts, with grants also reaching a regional museum and a local public safety beneficiary in Palm Beach Gardens. Its support is concentrated in sizable donations: recent awards include $20,000 gifts to New York Presbyterian Hospital in 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside $20,000 and $15,000 gifts to Manhattan Theatre Club in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The grant list shows a preference for established organizations, especially hospitals and cultural institutions, and the overall pattern is consistent with sustained operating or general support. Although the foundation’s annual grantmaking is modest in total, the individual grants are relatively substantial compared with the number of recipients, reinforcing a focused approach to institutional philanthropy.
Health care and the arts make up the clearest themes in the foundation’s giving. In health care, it gave $20,000 to New York Presbyterian Hospital in 2024 and again in 2025, showing continued support for a major hospital system. In the performing arts, Manhattan Theatre Club received $15,000 in 2024 and $15,000 in 2025, plus a $20,000 donation in 2023, indicating repeated backing for a professional theatre company. Museum support appears as well: Norton Museum of Art received $6,000 in 2024 and additional donations of $5,000 in 2023 and 2025. The foundation also made a $5,000 donation in 2025 to Palm Beach Gardens Police and Fire, adding a local public-service recipient to an otherwise institution-focused grant list.
Typical recent grant sizes cluster in the middle-teens: the p25 is $5,250, the median is $15,000, and the p75 is $20,000. That spread fits a pattern of fewer, relatively substantial donations rather than many small awards. The recent grant list shows repeat recipients across multiple years, especially in health care and the arts, which suggests sustained relationships instead of one-time gifts. Grants are listed as donations, and the foundation does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its public grant history in the data is entirely domestic, and the pattern is consistent with concentrated institutional giving.
