About Weiner Nusim Foundation
The Weiner Nusim Foundation concentrates its philanthropy almost exclusively on a single beneficiary tied to Israeli/Jewish humanitarian services. All recorded giving (three grants totaling $531,000) went to AFMDA, suggesting the foundation prioritizes support for Israel-focused emergency medical and humanitarian relief through an established institutional partner. Its profile indicates targeted, mission-aligned giving rather than broad community philanthropy.

About Weiner Nusim Foundation
The Weiner Nusim Foundation’s largest recent grants all went to AFMDA, including $271,000 in 2024 and $210,000 in 2025, showing a concentrated funding pattern around a single institutional partner. That relationship also extends back to a $50,000 grant in 2023, making AFMDA the clearest anchor in the foundation’s recent record. Beyond that core support, the foundation also appears in scholarship and cultural-education giving, with awards to colleges, universities, and New York-based organizations. The foundation’s public grant record shows both sizable general support and smaller restricted awards. Recent recipients include Central Synagogue, the Art Deco Society of NY, and several higher-education institutions. Scholarship grants range from $620 to $12,000 in the recent list, while general support accounts for the largest individual awards. Its active programs also point to three recurring channels: health initiatives, cultural seed funding in New York City, and academic college scholarships for women pursuing business and entrepreneurship. Taken together, the profile suggests a funder that combines a dominant Israel-focused medical relief relationship with a narrower set of education and community grants.
What Weiner Nusim Foundation Funds
Health-related giving is the foundation’s most visible theme. Under its health initiatives program, it supports educational outreach materials, training and equipment for paramedics and first responders, and the Marcus Blood Center for emergency care in Israel. That program aligns with the foundation’s major support for AFMDA. Education is another clear area. The Weiner Nusim Academic College Scholarships program supports undergraduate and graduate study for women seeking careers in business and entrepreneurship, and scholarships are paid directly to colleges or universities after enrollment is verified. Recent scholarship recipients include Manhattanville College for $5,000 and Columbia University for $2,500. The foundation also funds cultural outreach in New York City. Its cultural seed funding program supports local educational outreach, including classroom programming through Documenting Deco and free publications such as the Art Deco New York Journal.
How Weiner Nusim Foundation Gives
Typical grant sizes are small, with a p25 of $100, a median of $1,000, and a p75 of $2,500. The recent record mixes one very large institutional relationship with many smaller awards. AFMDA appears across multiple years, while scholarship and cultural grants recur across different recipients. The foundation is not structured as an individual-giving vehicle and does not make program-related investments. One active scholarship program accepts unsolicited applications, while the other active programs listed do not.
