    About Wiessner Foundation for Children

    The Wiessner Foundation for Children makes a small number of focused gifts aimed at meeting children’s immediate needs and supporting K–12 classroom resources. Recent grants show a willingness to fund tangible, program-specific items (comfort bags for children in crisis and Chromebooks for a school), suggesting a hands-on, child-centered giving approach. Giving appears targeted rather than broad, favoring direct-service nonprofits and a private school beneficiary.

    About Wiessner Foundation for Children

    The Wiessner Foundation for Children Inc. stands out for funding immediate, item-specific needs for children in Maryland rather than long-term institutional support. Its recent grants include repeated support for Comfort Cases in Rockville, which received $5,500 in 2024 and $2,750 in 2025 for comfort cases, and a $5,796 grant to Grace Classical Academy in Bel Air for 46 Chromebooks. Those awards show a pattern of practical, child-centered giving that reaches both direct-service nonprofits and schools. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches programs tied to camps, recreation, and youth enrichment. Examples include Camp Possibilities in Port Deposit for children to attend camp, Horizon Day Camp in Baltimore for carnival-day supplies, and The Miracle League of Harford Co in Forest Hill for shirts and hats. Other grants supported books, sports equipment, adaptive riding equipment, and classroom resources. The recurring theme is short-term support for tangible needs that can be used right away by children and the organizations serving them. Recent grants also indicate that the foundation is comfortable funding line items rather than broad operating support. Awards range from supplies and devices to uniforms, food, books, and equipment, with many grants tied to a specific number of items or participants.

    What Wiessner Foundation for Children Funds

    In child-welfare and immediate-needs work, the foundation gave $5,500 to Comfort Cases in Rockville for 100 comfort cases and later $2,750 for 50 comfort cases. That repeated support points to an interest in practical supplies for children in transition. Education appears through direct support for classroom technology and books. Grace Classical Academy in Bel Air received $5,796 for 46 Chromebooks, while Christ Child Society of Baltimore received $3,000 for approximately 600 books. They also fund recreation and enrichment at a program level. Camp Possibilities in Port Deposit received $4,375 for five children to attend camp, and Horizon Day Camp in Baltimore received $2,250 for carnival-day supplies. Beyond that, the foundation supported adaptive recreation through Chesapeake Therapeutic Riding in Abingdon for adaptive riding equipment and athletics through The Miracle League of Harford Co in Forest Hill for shirts and hats.

    How Wiessner Foundation for Children Gives

    Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $1,840, the median is $2,766, and the 75th percentile is $3,425. The recent grant list shows a lot of line-item funding, with awards tied to specific counts of cases, Chromebooks, books, uniforms, or event supplies. Several recipients appear more than once across different years, including Comfort Cases, Camp Possibilities, Horizon Day Camp, and Shoca, which suggests repeat relationships even though the foundation describes grants as one-time and intended for immediate needs. The active grant programs are general grant requests and quarterly consideration, and unsolicited requests are accepted.
