Welcome to the Weinberg Foundation’s website.

The Weinberg Foundation is working to expand its role in the philanthropic community far beyond being simply a provider of grants. We seek to become known as a leader in helping to build the field while also identifying and supporting the most innovative ideas and practices within various program areas.

As a visitor to the site, we hope you find the information easy to navigate, especially if you are looking for information about the Foundation’s grant guidelines and process. Unlike
many private foundations, in addition to proactively seeking grants, the Weinberg Foundation also considers grant requests from thousands of applicants each year. After you review what kinds of programs the Foundation funds, please consider contacting the program director working in the relevant grant area to answer any questions you have.

The power of social media has extended over the aisle into the philanthropic community. You will also see that the Weinberg Foundation now has a Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube account. We hope you will consider “liking, following, and watching” us so you can stay updated on the work and activities of the Weinberg Foundation. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. We appreciate your interest in the Weinberg Foundation.
