Grants for Health
The foundation's health grantmaking appears to focus on local hospitals and medical centers, rather than grassroots or national public health funding. The Mallahs are steady supporters of Columbia University, home to the Mallah Family Professor of Cardiology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians. They've also given millions to Northwell Health, and have supported its Feinstein Institute for Medical Research.
Other grantees have included Winthrop-University Hospital Association, Winthrop-University Hospital Association, Tourette Syndrome Association, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and Weill Medical College of Cornell University.
Grants for Jewish Causes and Education
The Mallah Family Foundation also invests in grants to Jewish community organizations, particularly a Jewish camp. The Mallahs strongly support Union for Reform Judaism Eisner Camp, where they met all the way back in the 1960s. Beyond Eisner Camp, they have also supported places like Hebrew Union College and Temple Judea of Manhasset.
