OVERVIEW: The Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Foundation primarily funds grantmaking related to education, medical research and healthcare, human needs, cultural, and policy causes.
IP TAKE: The foundation lacks transparency, which limits information available on its grantmaking priorities and activities.
PROFILE: The Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Foundation was established in 1984. It is steered by businessman Maurice Greenberg and his wife Corinne, who worked as a computer programmer and systems designer. Maurice Greenberg retired as chairman and CEO of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) in 2005, after serving as CEO from 1967. Under his leadership AIG became the largest insurance company in the world. The foundation does not maintain a website, which restricts further information on its priority areas and grantmaking strategies. Tax filings suggest that the Maurice R. and Corinne P. Greenberg Foundation primarily funds grantmaking related to education, medical research and healthcare, human needs, cultural, and policy causes.
Greenberg supports his alma mater University of Miami Law School via his foundation. Corinne, meanwhile, is chair of the national board of Young Audiences/Arts for Learning, which the family steadily support. Corrine has a passion for the arts and studied piano at the Manhattan School of Music.
Grants range from $200 to $200,000. In a recent fiscal year, the foundation gave away around $406,000. Past grantees include New York and Presbyterian Hospital, New York Philharmonic, Park East Synagogue, Council on Foreign Relations (Greenberg is on the board), Rockefeller University (Greenberg is a trustee emeritus), and LaGuardia High School.
The foundation keeps a low profile and does not accept unsolicited proposals.
