    About Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation

    The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation’s recent grantmaking is marked by large awards to Washington, DC cultural institutions and neighborhood-serving nonprofits. In 2025, the foundation gave $1,200,000 to the Smithsonian Institution and $681,000 to Weta, while another major arts grant went to the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in both 2024 and 2025. Those gifts sit alongside substantial support for community services, education, health, and environmental work across the DC metropolitan area. The foundation’s pattern shows a broad local portfolio rather than a single-issue strategy. It funds public arts and cultural programming, basic-needs and social service providers, school-focused organizations, conservation groups, and health access efforts. Recent community services grants reached organizations such as Blair House Restoration Fund and Building Bridges Across the River, while environmental support included Rock Creek Conservancy Inc and Dreaming Out Loud Inc. Education grants went to groups including Education Forward DC and Washington Latin Public Charter School. Across these priorities, the foundation uses both unrestricted and project support, with some capital giving by invitation. Its recent grants show repeated support for a number of organizations over multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.

Those awards point to support for performing arts institutions across the DC region. Community services funding reaches organizations working on social support and local capacity. Recent grants include $500,000 to Blair House Restoration Fund, $450,000 to Building Bridges Across the River - Thearc, and $275,000 to Abraham and Laura Lisner Home for Aged Women.
