Reiner 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 and works by invitation only, so the realistic route in is a connection to someone it already knows, not a cold application.
- Most of its grant dollars go to organisations it has funded before, with 88% of grant dollars to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so it leans heavily on existing relationships.
- Half of its grants to organisations were $50,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fell between $10,000 and $1,750,000, so a modest request sits within what it typically gives.
- No geographic focus is stated, and its purposes vary, with general and unrestricted support the largest recorded category, so a clear, specific need is more useful to put forward than a claimed fit with a theme.
Overview
Reiner Family Foundation is a US private foundation based in Wilmington, DE.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
Recorded grants went to a mixture of charitable and grantmaking bodies, including a donor-advisor fund and other foundations, universities, a land trust, healthcare and food organisations, an animal welfare society, and arts and cultural institutions. Their stated purposes range from general and unrestricted support to athletic enhancement, rural healthcare and mobile clinics, food, support for Ukraine, construction, and tools for tradespeople. The filings therefore show both broad unrestricted giving and awards for specific activities, rather than a stated single funding theme. The largest recorded category of purpose was general and unrestricted support, and a substantial amount went to a donor-advisor fund.
Geographic Focus
No geographic focus is stated; the filings show grants mainly in the United States and Washington.
