The Weiner Family Foundation is a private family foundation dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the Greater Philadelphia area through long-term, values-aligned partnerships.
Beginning in 2026, the Foundation transitioned to multi-year grant commitments in order to provide deeper, more consistent support to our partners and the communities they serve. As a result, our current grant cycle is closed.
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
At this time, we are not accepting unsolicited grant proposals. Organizations interested in being notified if a future grant cycle opens in 2026 may submit their information through our Organizational Intake Form below. Submissions will be reviewed for alignment and maintained for future outreach if a cycle reopens.
Please note: submitting the intake form does not constitute a grant application, and responses will not receive individual follow-up.

Overview & Approach
Strategic Project Grants support distinct, project-based initiatives at major institutions that align with the Weiner Family Foundation’s mission. These grants are designed to fund clearly defined, one-time or time-bound efforts rather than general operating support, and may include targeted capital investments or specialized equipment that enable organizations to expand access, reach, or impact. Funding levels and duration are determined based on the scope, scale, and potential community benefit of each project; multi-year commitments are considered by invitation.
Supported initiatives may include:
- Program launches
- Capital or infrastructure needs tied to a specific project
- Public-facing initiatives that expand access, education, or inclusion
Representative examples include:
- A building donation to Covenant House to expand transitional housing
- Funding an ambulance through American Friends of Magen David Adom, delivered to Israel
- A multi-year commitment to Jefferson Hospital supporting bladder cancer research
Funding Focus Projects typically align with one or more of the following areas:
- Children’s health and well-being
- Jewish causes
- Anti-human trafficking
- Animal care through research or program impact
- Educational or cultural access
Evaluation & Reporting Projects are assessed based on mission alignment, clarity of goals, uniqueness, and potential for community or systemic impact. A brief narrative and financial report is requested within 90 days of project completion. For larger or multi-year initiatives, site visits or optional video updates may be requested.
