The Rubin-Henry Family Foundation

OVERVIEW:  The Rubin-Henry Family Foundation’s grantmaking includes support of educational and health causes.

IP TAKE: The foundation keeps a low public profile, which limits information available on its grantmaking priorities and activities. While contact information is provided below, this is an inaccessible funder and networking is probably the best strategy. The couple divorced in 2021, and the foundation’s status is unclear at this time.

PROFILE: Established in 2000, the Rubin-Henry Family Foundation’s was founded by Bear Stearns veteran Howard Rubin and his ex-wife Mary. Rubin sits on the board of MS Hope for a Cure, which the couple steadily supports. Mary, meanwhile, served as treasurer and Board member of the New York Junior League, on the board of the Trevor Day School Parents Association and the Early Childhood Development Center of New York. 

Grants for Education and Health

While the foundation does not maintain a website or traditional grantmaking programs, tax filings suggest an interest in education and health issues. Past grantees include Trevor Day School, Harlem Village Academies, Citymeals on Wheels, UJA Federation, and Museum of the City of New York.

Important Grant Details

In a recent fiscal year, grants ranged from $250 to $50,000. The foundation does not appear to accept unsolicited proposals or requests for funding.
