Welcome to the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, Inc. The Weinberg Foundation is one of the nation’s largest private foundations and is dedicated to relieving the burdens of poverty, especially among older adults.
Foundation grants focus on meeting basic needs such as shelter, nutrition, health, and socialization, and on enhancing an individual’s ability to meet those needs. Areas of giving within the grantmaking effort are focused on older adults; disabilities; health; food insecurity; workforce development; education, children and families; addictions and homelessness. Within that focus, emphasis is placed on older adults and human services in the Jewish community.
The Foundation’s charitable grantmaking emphasizes operating and capital grants to nonprofit direct service organizations primarily located in Maryland, Hawaii, Northeastern Pennsylvania, Israel, Russia, and other parts of the Former Soviet Union. The Foundation also works nationally, with a special emphasis on poverty in New York City, in the areas of older adults, workforce development and disabilities.
Please take a few minutes to view our website, which includes general information about the Foundation and its Trustees and staff, as well as information about applying for a grant. In addition, you will find all of the details regarding new initiatives, including the Maryland Small Grants Program and the Request for Proposals for Family and Informal Caregiver Support Programs.
