The Haber Foundation concentrates its giving on local community-strengthening organizations, with significant gifts to neighborhood service providers, Jewish congregations, and youth programs. Grants also support health/emergency services and civic or cultural initiatives, suggesting a preference for organizations that deliver direct services and community engagement. The foundation makes a few sizeable core grants alongside several smaller, targeted gifts across these themes.
A $100,000 grant to Hudson Guild anchors the Murray & Susan Haber Charitable Foundation’s recent giving and shows a preference for direct support to organizations serving neighborhood residents. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs a mix of community service providers, Jewish congregations, youth enrichment programs, and local civic institutions. Its gifts also reach health and emergency services, including ambulance and burn-care organizations, alongside libraries, land and conservation groups, and counseling referrals. The pattern suggests a foundation that supports community life through practical, local institutions rather than broad initiatives. Recent grants to Washington Park Foundation, Congregation B'nai Israel, B'nai Israel Southbury, After School Arts Program, and Conversations on the Green show repeated attention to places where residents gather, learn, and receive services. Other awards support community housing, memorial parks, and arts organizations, reinforcing a portfolio built around neighborhood engagement and direct service. The foundation’s annual grants of $367,248 and total assets of $803,510 place that activity within a relatively modest private foundation structure, but its grant list shows a steady presence across multiple community-serving sectors.
Neighborhood community development is one of the clearest threads in the foundation’s giving. It granted $50,000 to Washington Park Foundation and $5,000 to Washington Community Housing Trust, both tied to local place-based work. In civic and cultural life, it supported Conversations on the Green with $10,000 in 2025 and $5,000 in 2023, plus $5,000 each to Washington Art Association and Gunn Memorial Library. The foundation also funds Jewish congregational life. Recent grants include $20,000 to Congregation B'nai Israel, $18,000 to B'nai Israel Southbury, $6,000 to Jewish Fed of West Connecticut, and $1,850 to Central Synagogue. Youth and enrichment appear in the $12,500 grant to After School Arts Program and the $3,000 grant to Camp Starfish. Health-related support includes $10,000 to Washington Ambulance Association and $10,000 to Int'l Women & Childrens Burn Fdn.
The foundation’s typical grant size is small: the 25th percentile is $570, the median is $1,000, and the 75th percentile is $2,754. That distribution sits alongside a few much larger core awards, including a six-figure grant in 2025. The recent record shows repeated support for several recipients across years, including Conversations on the Green, B'nai Israel Southbury, Greater Washington Coalition, Gunn Memorial Library, and Washington Ambulance Association. Giving appears to come from a foundation structure rather than an operating program or donor-advised fund, and it does not make program-related investments.
