The Jack Yanoff Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a very small number of local nonprofits, primarily providing large, unrestricted grants. Its funding emphasizes a Marin County Jewish congregation and community health services, suggesting a focus on faith-based community life and direct health/clinic support. Grants are few but substantial and often repeated to the same organizations.
Jack Yanoff Family Foundation’s giving is marked by repeated support for a small circle of Marin and San Francisco Bay Area organizations, especially Jewish community institutions and health-related nonprofits. The largest recent grant in the data is $150,000 to Congregation Rodef Sholom of Marin for general and unrestricted support, followed by additional support to the same congregation in 2024 and 2025, including a $50,000 building-fund grant. That pattern suggests a foundation comfortable with concentrated, recurring funding rather than a broad portfolio of one-time awards. The foundation also backs community health infrastructure. Greenlight Clinic received $50,000 in 2025 and $40,000 in 2024 for general and unrestricted support, and Jewish Community Free Clinic in Santa Rosa received a $20,000 grant in 2023. Alongside those local awards, the foundation has made emergency-related grants, including support for the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco Marin Peninsula’s 2023 Israel Emergency Fund and Hawaii Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Disaster Relief Fund. The grants point to a regional grantmaker that uses unrestricted support, annual fund support, and targeted emergency funding to sustain trusted organizations.
A major theme in the foundation’s grantmaking is Jewish communal life. Congregation Rodef Sholom of Marin received $150,000 in 2023 for general and unrestricted support, then another $50,000 in 2024 for general support and $50,000 in 2025 for its building fund. Health care and clinic support is another clear thread. Greenlight Clinic received $50,000 in 2025 and $40,000 in 2024, both for general and unrestricted support, while Jewish Community Free Clinic in Santa Rosa received $20,000 in 2023. The foundation also funds broader community services and emergency response. Jewish Family & Childrens Services received $25,000 in 2025 and $25,000 in 2024 for general support, plus $25,000 in 2024 for the JFCS Israel Emergency Fund. Separate emergency grants went to the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco Marin Peninsula and the Hawaii Community Foundation.
Typical awards cluster tightly around $20,000 to $25,000, with a median grant size of $25,000 and a p25 also at $20,000; the p75 is $25,000. The distribution shows a mix of standard annual support and larger outliers, including a $150,000 grant and several $50,000 grants. Recipients do repeat across years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s latest 990 year on file is 2025, and it makes grants to organizations rather than PRIs. It also funds individuals.
