The Herzog Family Foundation
The Herzog Family Foundation is a private foundation dedicated to supporting a variety of charitable causes. Its mission focuses on enhancing community well-being through funding initiatives in healthcare, education, arts and culture, and community development. The foundation has a notable commitment to Alzheimer's-related support, as evidenced by its consistent grants to the Alzheimer's Association, as well as contributions to hospitals and educational institutions. The foundation primarily serves organizations within its local community, particularly in Ohio, while also extending support to a few initiatives in California.

Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized local nonprofits in Ohio (healthcare, Alzheimer's support, community services, education, or arts) with clear project budgets and a demonstrated local connection.
Good Fit
- • A demonstrated service footprint in Ohio or a clear local connection to Ashtabula/Cleveland area.
- • Project requests accompanied by financial detail and explicit use of funds (program budget, recent financials).
- • Alignment with healthcare, Alzheimer's support, community development, education, or arts programming.
Geography
Giving is primarily concentrated in the foundation's home state (about 68% of dollars) but also includes out-of-state grants (California), so the footprint spans two states rather than strictly local-only.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct independent recipients across health, education, arts and community organizations; that number is meaningful for a small private foundation but not large enough to call the portfolio broadly diversified.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows substantial turnover in the latest year (four new recipients) and the foundation provides a clear written-application route with instructions, both of which support a reasonable likelihood that unfamiliar applicants can access funding.
