The Kemp Family Foundation concentrates its giving on sustaining local health care institutions and community-level religious organizations, frequently providing unrestricted/general operating support. Grants are large and concentrated among a handful of repeat beneficiaries, suggesting a focus on keeping rural hospitals, hospice services, and local churches financially stable rather than funding a wide range of projects or new initiatives.
Concentrated, sizable grants with multiple repeat awards to the same organizations—primarily general operating support rather than project-restricted funding.
The Kemp Family Foundation’s recent giving is built around unrestricted support for a small set of local institutions in upstate New York, with repeated awards to rural health and community organizations. In 2023, four grantees each received $55,056 in general operating support: Mountain Valley Hospice, Foothills United Methodist Church, Nathan Littauer Foundation, and Foundation of Fulton-montgomery. That pattern continued in later years, with the same recipients returning for support in 2024 and 2025. The foundation’s grantmaking points to a preference for keeping essential community infrastructure stable rather than funding short-term projects. Mountain Valley Hospice and Nathan Littauer Foundation appear across multiple years, and Foundation of Fulton-montgomery and Foothills United Methodist Church also received repeated general operating grants. The grants are concentrated among a handful of organizations, which suggests a relationship-based approach centered on ongoing institutional support. Across the recent awards, every listed grant was made to a U.S. recipient and every award used the same general operating designation.
Health care is a clear part of the foundation’s portfolio. Mountain Valley Hospice received $55,056 in 2023 and $46,736 in 2025, both for general operating support, while Nathan Littauer Foundation received $55,056 in 2023 and $42,984 in 2024. Those repeated awards indicate sustained support for local health services. Community infrastructure is another consistent thread. Foundation of Fulton-montgomery received $55,056 in 2023 and $46,736 in 2025, both as general operating support. In the same pattern of local support, Foothills United Methodist Church received $55,056 in 2023 and $42,984 in 2024. The grants are not project-specific; they are structured to support ongoing operations for institutions rooted in the community.
Typical grants cluster tightly around the mid-$40,000 range, with a p25 of $42,984, a median of $46,736, and a p75 of $55,056. The recent record also shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, which points to ongoing support rather than one-time gifts. The foundation does not make grants to individuals and does not make program-related investments. Every listed award is general operating support, reinforcing a core-funding style of giving.
