Beal Family Foundation

OVERVIEW: The Beal Family Foundation's grantmaking focuses in on supporting education, the arts, medical research, and hospitals. 

IP TAKE: The foundation keeps a low public profile, which limits information available on its grantmaking priorities and activities. This funder is not very approachable and does not provide a clear way to get in touch, leaving grantseekers with the need to network here.

PROFILE: The Beal Family Foundation was established in 2011. It was founded by real estate mogul Bruce A. Beal Jr., and his wife Kathryn, a radiation oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Bruce Beal serves as president of the New York real estate company Related Companies. The foundation does not maintain a website, which restricts further information regarding its priority areas and grantmaking strategies.

Past grantees include New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NYSPCC), New York - Presbyterian Hospital (Kathryn is on the board), Dubin Breast Cancer, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, Central Park Conservancy, and Prep for Prep.
