The Fleisher Family Foundation concentrates its philanthropic support exclusively on a single health-focused nonprofit, providing general operating funding to advance work on a specific medical condition. All recorded grants have gone to the Chordoma Foundation, indicating a targeted commitment to rare cancer research, patient support and related advocacy. The foundation appears to prioritize sustained, flexible support rather than a broad portfolio of causes.
Highly concentrated giving: repeated, sizeable general-operating grants to a single grantee (the Chordoma Foundation), indicating focused, sustained support rather than diversified funding.
Fleisher Family Foundation’s grant record is unusually concentrated: every recorded grant goes to the Chordoma Foundation, including a $210,000 general-operations grant in 2024 and $75,000 grants in both 2023 and 2025. That pattern points to a sustained commitment to a single rare bone-cancer nonprofit rather than a broad portfolio of causes. The largest grants are paired with unrestricted or general support language, which suggests flexibility in how the recipient can use the funding. Within that single-organization focus, the foundation’s support has remained consistent across multiple years. The Chordoma Foundation appears repeatedly in the grant list with different labels such as general operations, charitable purpose, and unrestricted support for charitable activities. That repetition is the clearest signal of the foundation’s priorities: disease-specific philanthropy, long-term backing, and operational support for a nonprofit working on a rare condition. The broader grant list also includes smaller awards to community and health-related groups in Ohio and beyond, but those are much smaller than the chordoma grants and do not change the overall picture of highly targeted giving.
The foundation’s clearest theme is rare disease support through the Chordoma Foundation. Its largest award, $210,000 in 2024, was marked for general operations, and the same recipient received $75,000 in both 2023 and 2025. That steady support indicates an emphasis on organizational capacity as much as program activity. Outside that core relationship, the grants list shows a second cluster around community aid in Toledo. Franklin Park Lincoln Inc received $20,021 in 2024 for coats for homeless and backpacks for kids, followed by $12,119 in 2025 for the same purpose. Grace Community Center received $6,529 in 2024 for meals for homeless. These awards connect the foundation to basic-needs support. A third thread is health and animal-related giving in the Toledo area. Humane Ohio received $10,000 in 2024 for general operations, and Massachusetts General Hospital received $100 in 2024 for bile duct research.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s total annual giving: the p25 is $600, the median is $7,500, and the p75 is $16,367. The distribution is lopsided, with a few large grants and many small ones. The Chordoma Foundation appears across 2023, 2024, and 2025, showing a multi-year relationship rather than a one-time award. The foundation is not an operating charity or DAF; it is a private family foundation. All recorded grants are charitable contributions, with unrestricted or operating language appearing on several awards.
