The Harris and Eliza Kempner Fund has a program which provides individual directors and advisors with the opportunity to direct grants that are reflective of his or her own unique charitable interests. This comprises a small amount of the Fund’s overall grantmaking budget, and these awards do not necessarily reflect the Fund’s areas of focused grantmaking. The Fund does not solicit nor accept applications for these discretionary grants. Download the entire Kempner Fund 2023 Grant Dollars Distribution by Program Area PDF here.
