The Kohn-Joseloff Foundation concentrates its giving in education and intermediary philanthropy, making a small number of relatively large general-purpose grants. Recipients include independent/private school(s) and other foundations or donor-advised funds, with at least one repeat grantee. The pattern suggests the foundation uses core grants for institutional support rather than many small program-specific awards.
Concentrated giving: few (4) relatively large grants totaling ~$326K, including repeat support to an independent school and significant grants to other foundations/fiscal vehicles; emphasis on general operating support.
A defining feature of Kohn-joseloff Foundation Incorporated is its repeat support for independent schools and related institutions, paired with sizable general-purpose gifts to intermediary philanthropic entities. The largest recent grant in the file is a 2024 award of $137,063 to Kohn Joseloff Foundation in Miami Beach, followed by $71,963 to Frezados Masius Rieger Fd in Winnetka and $61,000 to North Shore Country Day, also in Winnetka. That pattern fits a funder that makes a small number of concentrated grants rather than a broad scatter of awards. The foundation’s recent giving also shows continuity: North Shore Country Day appears in both 2023 and 2024, and other schools and charitable vehicles recur across the record. Its grants are often labeled general, which points to core support rather than tightly restricted project funding. Beyond schools and foundations, the portfolio includes community, arts, and health organizations, but these appear in smaller amounts and alongside the foundation’s stronger institutional emphasis.
Education is one of the clearest lanes in the foundation’s portfolio. In 2024, it gave $61,000 to North Shore Country Day in Winnetka for general support, and in 2023 it backed the same school with $56,000. Higher-education and secondary-school support also appears in other awards, including $25,000 to Loomis Chafee School in Windsor, Connecticut. The foundation also supports philanthropic intermediaries and related vehicles. A 2024 grant of $71,963 went to Frezados Masius Rieger Fd in Winnetka for general purposes, and the year’s largest grant went to Kohn Joseloff Foundation in Miami Beach. Community-serving organizations show up as well: it gave $7,500 to Winnetka Comm House in 2024 and $25,000 to Brotherhood-sister Sol in 2023.
Typical grants are concentrated in a relatively narrow band: the 25th percentile is $1,075, the median is $2,500, and the 75th percentile is $7,500. That distribution sits alongside a few much larger institutional grants, which makes the portfolio look intentionally selective. The same recipients can appear across multiple years, including North Shore Country Day, Naples Community Hospital, Artis Naples, David Lawrence Centers, Winnetka Comm House, and Pitch Your Peers Chicago. All listed awards are general grants, suggesting flexible operating or institutional support. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.

The recent grants file shows a strong emphasis on independent and private schools, along with grants to foundations and charitable funds used as intermediary vehicles. It also funds some community, arts, and health organizations, but the largest awards are concentrated in schools and philanthropic institutions.
The listed awards are labeled GENERAL across the recent grants table, and the existing summary describes the pattern as general-purpose support. That indicates a preference for flexible institutional or operating support rather than tightly restricted project grants.
Yes. Several recipients appear in more than one year, including North Shore Country Day, Naples Community Hospital, Artis Naples, David Lawrence Centers, Winnetka Comm House, Pitch Your Peers Chicago, and Hathaway Brown School. That suggests recurring relationships rather than one-time awards only.
