Henry & Marilyn Taub Foundation

What Henry & Marilyn Taub Foundation does

The Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation is a private family foundation established in 1967 by Henry and Marilyn Taub and headquartered in Teaneck, New Jersey (Bergen County). It operates as a charitable grant-making entity funded from a private endowment, with the explicit mission of supporting its community through giving in medical research, education, strengthening local communities, and Jewish life. The foundation does not sell products or services and does not accept unsolicited proposals; it distributes funds by invitation to pre-selected organizations and institutions with historic ties to the Taub family.

The foundation's portfolio is organized across four current program areas — Healthy Aging (including aging-in-place and age-friendly community-building), Early Childhood, Paterson (and a Climate Change Learning Initiative), and Medical Research — plus a Legacy program that maintains long-standing commitments to institutions such as Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Columbia University's Taub Institute for Alzheimer's Disease, bergenPAC, the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey, and the Jewish Home Family. The flagship medical research product is the HMTF Pilot Award Program for MDS Research, which provides $100,000 one-year grants (up to 8 per year) for high-risk, high-reward proof-of-concept studies on Myelodysplastic Syndromes, succeeding the prior 2014-2023 HMTF Grants Program.

Beyond direct grants, the foundation convenes the Age-Friendly North Jersey alliance with Rutgers University, NJ Advocates for Aging Well, and the Grotta Fund, and partners with the NJ Department of Human Services, AARP, New Jersey Future, Generations United, NJTIP @ Rutgers, and Parker Health Group on statewide aging policy. Distribution is primarily through direct invitation; the MDS program additionally uses the Foundant online grant portal with a two-stage LOI/Full Application process. Marketing and stakeholder engagement occur via taubfoundation.org, an Age-Friendly Blog, resource libraries for Healthy Aging and Early Childhood, and email newsletters.
