The Russell Berrie Foundation, based in Teaneck, New Jersey, is a philanthropic organization established in 1985 that identifies visionaries, institutions, and unsung heroes and works to amplify their impact through financial and strategic support. Its grantmaking focuses on areas aligned with Russell Berrie’s passions, including diabetes care and research, Israel's cultural and economic vitality, interfaith bridge-building, elevating the profession of sales, and strengthening communities in New Jersey. The foundation operates as a small- to mid-sized entity with a programmatic footprint that spans the United States and Israel. Leadership oversees grant portfolios and partnerships to advance these aims.

In May 2026, the foundation engaged with Ramapo College of New Jersey to support first-generation student retention through initiatives within the First-Generation Student Center. This activity illustrates the foundation’s ongoing involvement with higher education as a mechanism to strengthen communities.
