The foundation concentrates on large, high-impact gifts to Jewish communal institutions and related social services, with additional support for national reproductive health work. Most dollars flow to major New York–area Jewish organizations and synagogues, while a smaller share funds refugee assistance and Planned Parenthood. Its giving indicates a focus on strengthening Jewish community infrastructure and social justice/health services.
Norman E Alexander Family S Foundation Inc C/o R Mittenthal Tcc Group gave a $4.97 million grant to Uja - Federation of New York in 2025, the largest award in the recent record. That scale fits a pattern of large, institution-level support rather than many small grants. The foundation’s recent gifts center on Jewish communal infrastructure, with repeated support for federation work, synagogues, history and heritage organizations, and Jewish service agencies. It also makes selective grants outside that core, including national reproductive health, refugee assistance, and environmental work. Several recipients appear more than once, which points to continuing relationships rather than one-time awards. Uja - Federation of New York received both the 2025 grant and a $1.17 million grant in 2023. Planned Parenthood Federation of America Inc received $800,000 in 2025 and $346,000 in 2023, while Hias Inc appears in both 2025 and 2023 records. The foundation’s portfolio also includes grants to the Anti-defamation League, Hadassah, American Jewish World Service Inc, and the Center for Jewish History, showing a strong preference for established organizations with national or New York-area reach. Across the recent grants list, the giving profile is broad in subject matter but consistent in structure: larger awards to organizations serving Jewish communities, public health, civic life, and related public-interest work.
In Jewish communal giving, the foundation backed multiple institutions tied to New York and national Jewish life. It gave $500,000 to Larchmont Temple for social purposes and $450,000 to Dorot Inc for social purposes, alongside $400,000 to Metropolitan New York Coordinating Council for social purposes. These grants point to support for congregational life, older-adult services, and coordinated communal infrastructure. The foundation also funded Jewish history, advocacy, and service organizations. It gave $200,000 to Center for Jewish History for social purposes and $200,000 to Museum of Jewish Heritage a Living Memorial to the Holocaust for educational purposes. In civic and advocacy work, it gave $200,000 to Jewish Voter Resource Center (new Venture Fund) and $200,000 to Committee to Protect Journalists, both for social purposes. Outside Jewish communal work, the foundation supported public-interest and conservation groups. It gave $340,000 to World Wildlife Fund Inc, $200,000 to Clean Air Task Force Inc, and $200,000 to Rainforest Action Network for environmental purposes.

Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a small set of established organizations (repeat large gifts to UJA-Federation), with a mix of local Jewish institutions and selective national social-issue grantees.
Notable grantees: UJA - Federation of New York, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, HIAS Inc, Larchmont Temple
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure to low-six-figure range, with p25 at $50,000, a median of $77,500, and p75 at $152,500. The distribution stretches upward to very large commitments, including multimillion-dollar support to a federation and several six-figure awards to recurring recipients.

The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
