The Charles H. Revson Foundation strives to expand knowledge, advance democratic values, and pursue the public good. Through grants and fellowships in Biomedical Research, Education, Jewish Life, and Urban Affairs, we invest in a vibrant civic society that can meet the material, social, and spiritual needs of diverse communities, primarily in New York City and Israel.
Thriving societies rely on new and diverse pools of talented people dedicated to better futures for all. We bet on them and the places where they work and learn, looking for sustainable solutions that strengthen the public good. Our approach is ambitious, aspirational, and pragmatically optimistic.
During his lifetime, Charles H. Revson donated millions of dollars through the Foundation, which was endowed after his death and given unusual freedom to innovate. Mr. Revson’s giving focused on the Jewish community, medical and educational institutions in his adopted city of New York and current giving builds on this history.
Revson’s staff is comprised of seven people with deep experience in nonprofit management, policy, government operations, and cross-sector partnerships. Revson staff share a commitment to responsive and pragmatic philanthropy, rigorous analysis, and effective implementation. We are proudly untrendy.
The Revson Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors responsible for overseeing the Foundation’s grant allocations, budget, financial management and investment decisions. Revson Trustees bring a wealth of expertise and experience to guiding the Foundation’s work and include leaders from such fields as law, biomedical science, journalism, investment and financial services, nonprofit management and academia.
At Revson we believe that transparency is essential for building trust and ensuring effective stewardship of resources. Our commitment to transparency is demonstrated through our financial disclosures.
