The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, Inc., is a nonprofit organzation that help disadvantaged people and Jewish communities through grants. The organization was started in 1959 by Harry Weinberg, a businessman and real estate investor, and his wife Jeanette.

Weinberg left an estimated $900 million to the foundation. Weinberg owned large amounts of property in both Baltimore and Hawaii, where he moved in 1968. The foundation currently has offices located in both Hawaii and Owings Mills, Md. The Weinberg foundation makes grants to service organizations; most of those organizations are located in Baltimore, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, New York, Israel and the former USSR. In 1992, the foundation also started the Weinberg Fellows, a program meant to help improve the skills of leaders at organizations that receive grants from the foundation. The fellows program branched out from Hawaii to Baltimore in 2002. The foundation does not accept applications for grants from individual people; it only makes grants to some non-profit or government organizations.
