A tax-exempt private foundation that supports initiatives and programs serving residents of Lackawanna County and Northeastern Pennsylvania, with emphasis on reducing poverty, removing economic barriers, and encouraging independence through access to housing, transportation, education, and support for animal welfare, veterans, and Jewish community needs.
A defining feature of the Robert H Spitz Foundation C/o Scranton Area Foundation is its long-running support for Scranton and Northeastern Pennsylvania institutions that combine community services with capital projects. Recent grants include major awards for the Jewish Community Center of Scranton swimming pool renovation, the NEPA Rescue Veterinary Clinic at Indraloka Animal Sanctuary, and the capital campaign at New Hytes in Branford, CT. The foundation also backs veterans’ housing, Jewish community programs, and emergency support for local nonprofits, showing a mix of facility improvements and direct service funding. Its grantmaking reaches across housing stability, education, transportation, animal welfare, veterans’ affairs, and Jewish cultural life. Several grants support physical spaces and infrastructure, such as renovations, expansions, and capital improvements, while others fund operating needs or specific programs. The foundation’s recent activity also shows attention to poverty reduction and economic mobility, with grants tied to food access, GED pathways, and supportive services. Most of its awards land in Pennsylvania, especially in Lackawanna County and the broader Northeastern Pennsylvania region, but the recent record also includes select grants outside the state.
In housing and homelessness work, the foundation gave $30,000 to Catholic Soical Services of the Dicoese of Scranton for rehabilitation of St James Manor and St. Anthony's Haven homeless shelter, and $20,000 to Neighborworks Northeastern Pennsylvania for shared equity housing planning capacity. It also supported veterans’ housing with $30,000 to Agency for Community Empowerment of Nepa for an 8-unit veterans' housing complex in Scranton. Education and pathway-building appear in grants such as $25,000 to Discovery MI Preschool to create a child care hub in North Scranton and $20,000 to Outreach Center for Community Resources for adult GED support. In food access, the foundation awarded $20,000 to Commission on Economic Opportunity for Weinberg Regional Food Bank expansion. Animal welfare is another recurring area, including $50,000 to Indraloka Animal Sanctuary for the NEPA Rescue Veterinary Clinic and $18,000 to Adopt a Boxer Rescue for the Puppy Mill Project.

Typical awards are tightly centered around two sizes: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is also $10,000. That indicates a grantmaking pattern with many modest awards and a smaller number of larger project grants. The foundation is a private foundation managed through the Scranton Area Foundation structure, and it also funds individuals. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Jewish Community Center of Scranton, New Hytes, Indraloka Animal Sanctuary, Temple Israel, and Treatment Court Advocacy Center of Lackawanna County, which suggests repeated support rather than purely one-time giving. Unsolicited applications are accepted through administered grant programs.
Grant dollars are overwhelmingly local: 97% of grants go to recipients in Pennsylvania. The recipient map is concentrated in Scranton and nearby Lackawanna County communities, with repeated awards in Scranton, Clarks Summit, Wilkes Barre, Dalton, Dickson City, and Archbald. The top state by grant count is Connecticut because of a recurring grant to Branford-based New Hytes, but the foundation’s giving is still largely Pennsylvania-centered. The country distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with 130 grants recorded in the United States.
The foundation supports nonprofits and community institutions working in housing, transportation, education, veterans’ affairs, animal welfare, food access, environmental stewardship, and Jewish community life. Its recent grants include both program support and capital projects, such as shelter rehabilitation, food bank expansion, and facility renovation.
Yes. The active grant programs listed for the foundation and its Scranton Area Foundation administration note that applications are accepted through grant cycles, an online portal, or letter-of-intent processes. The Community Needs Grants page also says applications may be submitted at any time and are reviewed quarterly.
The grant-size distribution centers on smaller awards: p25 is $5,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $10,000. Recent grants include both smaller operating and program awards and larger capital commitments, so the foundation uses a mix of grant sizes.
No. Some recipients appear in multiple years, including Jewish Community Center of Scranton, New Hytes, Indraloka Animal Sanctuary, Temple Israel, and Treatment Court Advocacy Center of Lackawanna County. That pattern shows repeat support across years, alongside one-off grants to other organizations.
Its grantmaking is heavily concentrated in Pennsylvania, with 97% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. The most common recipient places in the recent record include Scranton, Clarks Summit, Wilkes Barre, Dalton, Dickson City, and Archbald.
