About Revlis Foundation C/O Northern Trust
The Revlis Foundation concentrates its support on education and health institutions, providing sizable, general-purpose grants to a small number of well-established organizations. Most funding goes to higher education and elite K–12 education, alongside substantial gifts to a major New York hospital and a smaller international civic-service organization. Grants appear unrestricted (“general charitable”) and reflect a preference for institutional partners rather than grassroots groups.

About Revlis Foundation C/O Northern Trust
The Revlis Foundation C/o Northern Trust repeatedly makes general charitable grants to a small set of established institutions, with Duke University receiving the largest recent award at $404,975 in 2025. That pattern is consistent across the file: the foundation backs major education, health, cultural, and civic-service organizations rather than a broad roster of smaller nonprofits. Recent gifts also include $202,262 to New York Presbyterian Fund and $199,751 to The Brearley School, both in 2025, showing a mix of higher education, hospital support, and elite K–12 education. Another recurring relationship is with CorpsAfrica, which received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The grant descriptions are uniformly “general charitable,” suggesting flexible support rather than program-specific project funding. Across the recent grant list, the foundation’s giving includes New York institutions, national nonprofits, and a small number of organizations with international reach. The overall picture is of a funder that uses relatively large grants to reinforce core operations and institutional priorities at a limited number of organizations.
