J & K PI Family Foundation focuses exclusively on education, concentrating nearly all of its giving on elite New York City educational institutions. Its support is split primarily between a private K–12 boys’ school and a major research university, delivered as a small number of substantial, unrestricted donations. The foundation appears to favor repeat, general-purpose gifts rather than many small, project-specific grants.
Highly concentrated: only six grants split almost entirely between two recipients, with repeat, relatively large general donations rather than many small or project-specific awards.
J & K Pi Family Foundation Inc gives almost entirely to New York education institutions, with a small set of repeat general-donation grants making up most of its visible recent activity. The largest recent gifts in the dataset went to The Browning School and Columbia University, both in New York City, and both received support more than once across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That repeated pattern points to a foundation that favors ongoing backing over one-time project awards. Education is the clear center of gravity in the recent grants list, but the portfolio is not limited to one school type. It includes an independent K–12 boys’ school, a major research university, and other New York City educational institutions such as New York University, The Spence School, Forte Preparatory Academy Charter, and Weill Cornell Medicine. The grants are generally described as general donations, which suggests flexible support rather than narrowly designated project funding. The foundation’s total annual grants were $476,001, and the individual awards in the recent list range from smaller $5,000 gifts to larger five-figure contributions. Most of its giving lands in New York, with the grant list concentrated in New York City and nearby neighborhoods.
Education is the foundation’s dominant theme. In 2025, it gave $37,300 to The Browning School in New York, and in 2024 it gave $38,800 to the same school for a general donation. Columbia University also appears as a repeated recipient, with general donations of $31,500 in 2023, $36,300 in 2024, and $31,250 in 2025. Beyond those anchor institutions, the foundation supports other New York City schools and education-related organizations. It gave $15,000 to Forte Preparatory Academy Charter in Elmhurst in 2024 and $10,000 to the same charter school in East Elmhurst in 2023. New York University received $12,500 in 2024 and $10,000 and $7,500 in 2023 and 2025, respectively. The Spence School also received two general donations, including $10,000 in 2023 and $8,136 in 2025. The broader list suggests interest in educational access and school support across multiple institutions rather than a single program area.
The typical gift size is modest-to-medium for a private foundation: the 25th percentile is $1,375, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $10,000. Even so, several grants are much larger, and the recent list includes repeated five-figure awards to the same institutions over multiple years. This is a repeat-giving pattern rather than a one-off approach. The same grantees appear in 2023, 2024, and 2025, usually with general donation language. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The structure in the data aligns with a family foundation making flexible support grants, not a competitive grant program.
