Bernard F. and Alva B. Gimbel Foundation

Founded in 1943, the Bernard F. and Alva B. Gimbel Foundation is a private family foundation that provides funding to nonprofit organizations. The Foundation has recently begun the process of spending down and is expecting to conclude grant-making sometime in 2028. Going forward, the Foundation will be focusing its efforts on democracy and climate change while maintaining support for some organizations in its historical funding areas (i.e. criminal justice, legal services, reproductive rights, the environment, and economic development).
