The Weiner Family Foundation
The Weiner Family Foundation is a private family foundation dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the Greater Philadelphia area through long-term, relationship-based partnerships.
Beginning in 2026, the Foundation transitioned to multi-year grant commitments to provide deeper, more consistent support to our partners and the communities they serve. Our traditional grant cycle is currently closed, and we are not accepting unsolicited proposals for multi-year funding.
Our philanthropic focus areas include:
- Human trafficking and women’s safety
- Children’s health and well-being, including food security
- Animal welfare and animal-focused charities
- Jewish causes and community-based initiatives
In addition to our long-term grantmaking, we are piloting The Right Here Fund, a micro-grant program designed to support small, practical projects, community events, and ideas that can be put into action quickly and make a direct impact.
Organizations interested in being considered for future funding opportunities may submit their information through the Organizational Intake Form below. The intake form is not a grant application and does not guarantee future consideration or individual follow-up.
The Right Here Right Now Fund supports small, practical projects, community events, and donations that can be implemented quickly and make a direct impact.
Inspired by the idea that small amounts of support can create meaningful change, we designed this process to be simple. You do not need a formal proposal or detailed budget, just a clear description of what you'd like to do, who it will benefit, and how the funds or materials will be used.
We focus on projects that can typically be completed within 30 to 90 days and create meaningful results right here, right now. The Right Here Fund will aim to open for requests periodically throughout the year, generally for a two-week application period, with requests reviewed and funding decisions typically made within two weeks of the application period closing.
Before you begin, we invite you to watch the short video below. It explains the purpose of The Right Here Fund and why we're encouraging applicants to share their ideas through video as well.
As we launch the Right Here Right Now Fund pilot, the application is now available for invited organizations to review and submit. Applications will be reviewed from September 1 through September 30, with recipients selected shortly thereafter. We anticipate disbursing funds in early October to support quick-action projects completed by the end of the year.
