    The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation

    Summary

    The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation supports agencies that provide direct services to low-income and vulnerable individuals and families, primarily in the United States and Israel. Grants are focused on meeting basic needs and enabling an individual to live as independently as possible. Within that focus, emphasis is placed on serving older adults and the Jewish community.


    Funding is dedicated to the following initiatives:

    • Basic Human Needs - The foundation supports programs that meet the basic needs of individuals, families, and communities. These include programs in the areas of homeless services, economic assistance, food security, and health. Goals of this program area include providing 1) A safe and stable place to call home; 2) Appropriate support services to aid homeless youth in reaching self-sufficiency; 3) Short-term economic and social service support in times of hardship; 4) Sufficient and nutritious food; and 5) Increased access to healthcare.
    • Disabilities - The foundation supports programs that respect and promote the independence, integration, individual choice, and civil rights of children and adults with intellectual, physical, and sensory disabilities as necessary preconditions for a good life. Goals of this program area include providing grants in the following areas 1) Housing; 2) Employment; 3) Early intervention; 4) Community-based services for those with psychiatric illnesses; 5) Integrated summer camps and other social programs; 7) Legal aid programs and access to benefits; and 9) Assistive technology.
    • Education - The foundation supports organizations and programs committed to ensuring that children are ready for kindergarten; achieve grade-level academic performance in reading, math, and science; and graduate from high school prepared for college and the workplace. This portfolio includes an emphasis on STEM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering, and Math) literacy, out-of-school time, early childhood development, and child and family safety. Goals of this program area include providing 1) early childhood education programs; 2) STEM programs; and 3) out of school time programs.
    • Maryland Small Grants Program (MSGP) - MSGP is intended to help smaller, eligible nonprofits more easily and efficiently apply for funding, an initial grant of up to $50,000 for two years ($100,000 total). Funding for additional years may be available. MSGP includes all foundation grantmaking areas: Basic Human Needs & Health; Disabilities; Education (United States); General Community Support; Older Adults; and Workforce Development.
    • Older Adults - This is the largest single area of grantmaking by the foundation. The foundation seeks to fund organizations that help the frailest, poorest older adults to live dignified, meaningful, and engaged lives in the community and maintain their independence for as long as possible. The following principles guide grantmaking for the Older Adults portfolio: 1) Serve the poorest; 2) Serve the most vulnerable; 3) Address the most basic needs; and 4) Build the field. In addition, the program has priority areas for capital and operating grants. For capital grants: 1) Residential care facilities; 2) Housing construction and repair; and 3) Community-based facilities. For operating grants: 1) Community-based services and supports to meet the most basic needs; 2) Informal caregiver support; 3) Promotion of professional long-term care workforce; and 4) Economic Security.
    • Workforce Development - The foundation is committed to helping people help themselves by obtaining and retaining employment, preferably on a career track. The foundation supports programs that provide the life-tools” for clients to lift themselves from poverty into solid self-support. Goals of this program area include providing 1) Job-Readiness training; 2) Financial literacy; 3) Adult entrepreneurship programs; and 4) Youth and work programs.
