The Kobor Family Foundation concentrates its philanthropy locally, splitting major support between medical research—primarily cancer—and Jewish communal life in Beverly Hills. Most dollars go to two repeat recipients: a cancer research organization and the Temple of Emanuel of Beverly Hills, indicating a preference for sustained support to institutions with personal or community significance.
The Kobor Family Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by two repeat pillars: Tower Cancer Research Foundation and Temple of Emanuel of Beverly Hills. Those organizations appear across multiple years, and the largest grant on file, $60,085 in 2024, went to the temple. A second recurring pattern is support for cancer research and related community institutions in Beverly Hills and nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods. The foundation’s portfolio is small and concentrated. One recipient, Tower Cancer Research Foundation, received $47,577 in 2024, $37,777 in 2025, and $37,577 in 2023, showing multi-year support rather than isolated awards. Another recurring beneficiary, Temple of Emanuel of Beverly Hills, received $50,085 in 2023 and then a larger follow-on grant in 2024. Beyond those core grants, the foundation also supports Jewish congregational life, local public-safety groups, and selected community nonprofits. Its grants are almost entirely directed to California recipients, with Beverly Hills organizations appearing repeatedly in the recent record.
Cancer-related philanthropy is a central thread. Tower Cancer Research Foundation received $47,577 in 2024, $37,777 in 2025, and $37,577 in 2023, placing medical research at the center of the foundation’s ongoing support. Jewish communal life is another clear focus. The foundation gave $60,085 in 2024 to Temple of Emanuel of Beverly Hills and $50,085 in 2023 to the same institution, indicating sustained support for synagogue operations and congregational activity. The record also includes smaller grants to other Jewish organizations and local institutions. Examples include $20,000 to Young Israel of Century City in 2023, $10,000 to Beit T'shavah in 2023, and $5,000 to Jewish Family Service in 2024. Those awards show a wider neighborhood-level commitment around Los Angeles.
Typical awards are modest but varied: the p25 is $5,000, the median is $8,000, and the p75 is $20,000. The distribution still includes larger outliers, such as grants above $50,000. The foundation’s recent record also shows repeat support to the same institutions over multiple years, especially in Beverly Hills. It gives as a family foundation, not as a vehicle for individuals, and there is no program-related investment activity in the available data.
