Weingartz Family Foundation
The organization is a private foundation dedicated to providing financial support primarily for religious ministries and assistance to indigent families. Its mission reflects a commitment to humanitarian efforts, particularly in addressing food insecurity and offering pregnancy support services. The foundation serves various charitable organizations, focusing on those that align with its values of faith-based initiatives and human services. While it primarily supports organizations in Michigan, its funding also extends to a few other states.

Ideal Applicant
Established, mission-aligned charities—especially faith-based or human-services organizations with a strong Michigan presence or formal partnerships with major local intermediaries—able to manage large grants or serve as pass-through partners.
Good Fit
- • Track record of work in Michigan or clear statewide impact in Michigan.
- • A faith-based mission or programs serving indigent families, food security, or pregnancy support.
- • Existing relationship, endorsement, or partnership with a major local intermediary or prior grantee (e.g., Catholic or large relief organizations).
- • Organizational capacity to handle large, multi-hundred-thousand to multi-million-dollar grants.
Geography
Grantmaking is heavily concentrated in the foundation's home state—about 86% of dollars in 2023—though a handful of out-of-state grants were made across five states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 18 distinct recipients in 2023 (and funded many more in 2022), indicating a moderate spread of grantees, but financial support is highly concentrated in a few large recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected applicants and, while 7 new recipients appeared in 2023, the declared preselection policy and high concentration to repeat major grantees make it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant could readily enter the portfolio.
