The Korenvaes Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish communal needs, backing organizations that provide community outreach, safety and emergency response services for Jewish communities both locally and abroad. Grants are large and targeted, often directed to a small set of repeat recipients that deliver security, emergency medical response, and Jewish philanthropic infrastructure.
A defining feature of Harlan & Amy Korenvaes Family Foundation C/o Harlan B Korenvaes is its heavy support for Jewish communal security and emergency response, with very large grants going to a small number of recurring partners. The clearest example is Friends of United Hatzaiah, which received $769,000 in 2024 after a $650,000 grant in 2023. Another major recipient, Secure Community Network, was funded at $318,000 in 2023 and $300,000 in 2024 for community outreach tied to protection and safety. The foundation also directs significant support to Dallas-based institutions, including Dallas Jewish Community Foundation and The Intown Chabad, alongside grants to medical, educational, and cultural organizations. Its pattern suggests a funder that combines large-scale national and Israel-related Jewish communal giving with targeted local support in Dallas. The recent grants list shows a mix of emergency medical response, Jewish philanthropic infrastructure, community outreach, and education, with the largest awards reserved for organizations serving safety and response needs. Smaller grants also appear, but the main profile is shaped by a few high-value relationships sustained across multiple years.
Emergency medical response is one of the foundation’s most visible themes. Friends of United Hatzaiah received $769,000 in 2024 and $650,000 in 2023 for community outreach. Security-focused giving is another clear lane: Secure Community Network received $318,000 in 2023 and $300,000 in 2024, both listed as community outreach. In Dallas, the foundation supported local Jewish infrastructure through a $200,000 grant to Dallas Jewish Community Foundation in 2024 and $13,500 to The Intown Chabad in 2025. Education also appears across several recipients, including Southern Methodist University at $50,000 in 2023, American Israel Education Foundation at $50,000 in 2024, and Afim at $15,000 in 2024.
Typical awards cluster between $5,500 and $100,000, with a median grant size of $25,000 and a 75th percentile of $100,000. The pattern is relationship-driven rather than one-off: several recipients appear in more than one year, including Friends of United Hatzaiah, Secure Community Network, Dallas-area institutions, Legacy Senior Communities, and Afim. The foundation is a family foundation, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Its recent grants show a mix of large, targeted awards and smaller community grants, with repeat support being a consistent feature.

Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Friends of United Hatzaiah, Secure Community Network, Dallas-area organizations, Legacy Senior Communities, and Afim. The repeated awards show a multi-year relationship pattern rather than isolated one-time gifts.
The distribution centers on a $25,000 median grant size, with the 25th percentile at $5,500 and the 75th percentile at $100,000. That means the foundation makes many modest awards, but it also uses substantially larger grants for a smaller set of priority recipients.
Texas is the top recipient state, accounting for 48% of grants. Within Texas, Dallas is especially prominent, with additional grants in Plano, Addison, and Fort Worth. The remaining grants in the recent list go to recipients in Miami, New York, and Washington, DC.
