The Stan & Madelle Rosenfeld Family Foundation concentrates local, community-focused giving in the Portland area with a clear emphasis on Jewish cultural institutions and community infrastructure. Nearly half of its dollars support arts/culture and Holocaust/Jewish education, while the remainder funds neighborhood social services and local creative/arts spaces. The foundation tends to make a small number of moderately sized gifts, often repeating support for the same Jewish organizations.
Concentrated, local giving with a few mid-sized grants per year; repeat funding to core Jewish institutions alongside selective support for neighborhood social services and grassroots arts groups.
Notable grantees: Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, Friendly House Inc, COLAB PDX
The Stan & Madelle Rosenfeld Family Foundation’s clearest pattern is sustained support for Jewish cultural and educational institutions in Portland, paired with smaller grants to neighborhood-serving nonprofits. Two of its largest recent gifts went to the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, at $16,360 in 2024 and $16,000 in 2023, showing repeat support for the same institution. The foundation also made a $14,300 grant to the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland in 2023 and a $10,000 grant in 2024, placing community infrastructure alongside cultural preservation in its giving. Its recent grants also show a local community orientation beyond the Jewish sector. Gifts to Friendly House Inc, Colab Pdx, and Portland Jewish Academy reflect attention to neighborhood services, arts spaces, and education within the Portland area. Several smaller awards go to congregations, youth-oriented organizations, and family-service providers, suggesting a portfolio built around organizations with direct community roles rather than a broad national strategy. The foundation’s grants are generally modest in size, but it does return to the same recipients across years, indicating an ongoing relationship with selected local organizations.
Jewish cultural education is a core area of support. The foundation gave $16,360 to Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education in 2024 and $16,000 in 2023, both for the organization’s charitable purpose. Community infrastructure is another clear thread: Jewish Federation of Greater Portland received $14,300 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024, also for charitable purpose of organization. The foundation also supports local social services. Friendly House Inc received $10,500 in 2023 and $2,500 in 2024, while Northwest Pilot Project received $2,500 in 2023. Education appears in its grants as well, including $4,800 to Portland Jewish Academy in 2023 and $2,000 to San Mateo High School in 2023. Smaller grants to organizations such as Blanchet House, Our House, and Jewish Family and Child Services show attention to human services and family support.
Typical grants are small to modest: p25 is $500, the median is $1,000, and p75 is $4,140. The recent record shows repeat giving to several recipients across 2023 and 2024, including the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, Jewish Federation of Greater Portland, Friendly House Inc, Congregation Shaarie Torah, and Jewish Family and Child Services. The foundation is a family foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The pattern is a direct grantmaking approach with no application process described in the data.
