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

With the support of the Weiner Family Foundation, we were proud to bring back Sensory Friendly Day last year—ensuring that individuals and families with diverse sensory needs can fully experience the joy of science. We are grateful for their partnership in helping make this possible."

What We Fund

Our giving is shaped by deep personal commitments — to Jewish life and tradition, to children and their futures, to protecting the vulnerable, and to the animals who share our world. Each area reflects something we care about as a family. (FPO)

While we are deeply committed to helping individuals and families who are already facing difficult circumstances, a significant part of our work focuses on addressing the root causes of these problems. We are especially interested in supporting organizations and programs that intervene early and work upstream—before abuse, homelessness, educational failure, or other crises occur. We believe that lasting change comes not only from responding to immediate needs, but from investing in prevention, strengthening families and communities, and creating opportunities that can alter the course of a person’s life before they reach a point of crisis. Our goal is to support nonprofits that are not simply treating the symptoms, but are tackling the underlying issues and building solutions that can prevent suffering and create long-term, meaningful impact.
