Our Impact

Behind every grant is a story of resilience, healing, and hope.

Rather than simply funding programs, we invest in organizations creating measurable impact in the lives of children, families, survivors, and vulnerable communities.

Each story reflects the power of relationship-based philanthropy and the importance of long-term community investment.

Voices from our partners

Their Words

"The Weiner Family Foundation exemplifies the vision, commitment, innovative thinking, and generosity that allows us — and truly inspires us — to do more for the young people we serve. Our partnership with the Weiner Family Foundation led to one of the most impactful and transformative gifts in Covenant House Pennsylvania’s twenty-five year history. I will never forget the day we opened the beautiful apartment building made possible through the Foundation’s support. We showed a young woman her new apartment and she broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the realization that she was finally home. I’ve said it many times before and I will say it many times again in the future — thank you to the Weiner Family Foundation for your extraordinary partnership and belief in our mission." + Read More

"It has been incredibly meaningful to work with The Weiner Family Foundation over the years and to witness firsthand the extraordinary impact of their generosity, compassion, and leadership. The Foundation’s support of Magen David Adom (MDA) has helped save thousands of lives in Israel while bringing hope, comfort, and critical care to people during some of the most difficult moments imaginable. The Weiner Family Foundation was my very first Life Support Ambulance dedication in 2021, and it truly set the tone for my work for years to come. I still remember the excitement and joy on the family’s faces while they tested out the sirens for the very first time. Since then, it has been incredibly inspiring to watch the family’s commitment continue to grow, including sponsoring their third-generation ambulance, a new 4x4 emergency response vehicle, and visiting MDA’s Marcus National Blood Services Center in Ramla to witness firsthand the incredible scope and impact of MDA’s lifesaving work." + Read More

We are grateful for their partnership in helping make this possible."
