The Reisman Family Foundation was originally funded entirely through monetary donations.
Over time, the number of individuals and families seeking assistance during serious illness has grown significantly. While direct donations remain essential, they are no longer sufficient on their own to meet the full scope of need.
To responsibly expand our capacity and serve more families, the Foundation has launched an in-kind corporate donation initiative, allowing excess goods to be converted into meaningful program funding through approved channels.
Process:
“We do not assign value; we acknowledge goods received.”

All proceeds from donated goods are used exclusively to support the Foundation’s charitable programs assisting individuals and families facing serious illness.”
The Reisman Family Foundation has historically funded its programs through direct monetary donations.
As part of an expanded initiative, the Foundation now also accepts in-kind corporate donations, which may be distributed directly or responsibly converted into program funding through approved channels.
Emergency financial assistance for families facing medical hardship
Serious illness often brings immediate financial strain—lost income, unexpected expenses, and mounting bills. Direct financial support allows families to focus on care and recovery without immediate economic crisis.
Estimated impact:
• $1,000–$2,500 provides short-term emergency financial relief for a family
• May be used toward essential living expenses, transportation, or recovery-related needs
Support is provided on a limited, case-by-case basis based on available funding.
Access to medical care when travel becomes a barrier
Estimated impact:
• $250 helps fund 10–12 round-trip rides to medical appointments
• Supports patients undergoing frequent or long-term treatment
Practical help during illness and recovery
Estimated impact:
• $500 supports 15–20 hours of in-home assistance
• Includes light housekeeping, laundry, and daily household tasks that become difficult during illness
Emotional and practical support after discharge
Estimated impact:
• $750–$1,000 helps fund post-hospital companionship services
• Designed to reduce isolation, support recovery, and ease caregiver burden
Moments of relief during extended hospital stays
Estimated impact:
• $1,000 helps fund multiple hospital entertainment visits
• Supports emotional well-being for patients and families during treatment
Each year, the Foundation receives more requests for assistance than it can fulfill through monetary donations alone.
As healthcare costs rise and families face increasing financial and emotional strain, the gap between need and available funding continues to grow.
Requests for transportation, financial assistance, and in-home support continue to increase, particularly among families facing prolonged or chronic illness.
Corporate in-kind donations allow the Foundation to responsibly extend its reach by converting excess inventory into direct program funding, without diverting limited cash resources from families already in need.
As this initiative grows, the Foundation is implementing clear tracking and reporting frameworks to ensure transparency, donor confidence, and measurable impact.

As corporate partnerships expand, the Foundation intends to publish periodic summaries outlining how in-kind donations have supported program services and families in need.
