The mission of the Winnick Family Foundation, founded by Karen and Gary Winnick in 1983, focuses on improving education, literacy, health care, art, culture, and animal welfare, as well as supporting populations and communities at risk worldwide. The Foundation aims to make a positive impact through selective support of project-specific programs, capital campaigns, and unrestricted gifts to grantee organizations.
The Winnick Family Foundation Grants program concentrates on projects within education, literacy, healthcare, art, culture, animal welfare, and the needs of at-risk populations and communities globally. The grants encourage applications for project-specific programs but are also open to capital campaigns and unrestricted gifts. Applications must be submitted in writing, detailing the project's mission, management team, and funding sources, along with a current 501(c)(3) recognition letter.
Projects located in Los Angeles and New York are preferred.
