Edelstein Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; your best route is an existing connection that could lead to an invitation.
- Its grants mainly go to universities, public schools, Jewish federations, health and elder-care institutions and theatre organisations, and the filings record only programme support, so check that your work sits in one of these kinds of organisation.
- Most of its grants fall between $30,000 and $300,000, and the median was about $98,500, so a request in that region fits its pattern, though its largest grant was about $305,000 and that band is not a ceiling.
- Nearly all of its recent grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded in earlier filings, so relationships appear to matter a great deal.
- The filings do not state a geographic focus, and the grants shown are mainly in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Colorado and New York, but that pattern is not a rule about who may apply.
Overview
Edelstein Family Foundation is a US private foundation administered by its trustee, Old National Wealth Mgmt, in Evansville, IN.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 13 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The filings record programme support to a varied group of charitable organisations. Recipients include universities and university departments, public schools, Jewish federations, health and elder-care institutions, and theatre organisations. Repeated awards appear across several of these kinds of organisations, while the recorded purposes are all described simply as programme support. The filings therefore show recurring institutional giving across education, health, community and the arts, rather than identifying a specific purpose for each award. They do not state an overall funding policy, eligibility criteria, a preferred applicant profile or grant geography. The available record offers no further detail on the intended beneficiaries or activities of this support.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Colorado and New York.
