A P W Foundation Inc concentrates its giving on a small set of charitable recipients, with a clear focus on supporting Jewish communal institutions and local charitable causes in or around Brooklyn. Grants are large and concentrated, often directed through named charitable funds or broad-purpose recipients rather than many small community organizations. The foundation repeatedly funds a primary intermediary (OJC Fund) and makes substantial one-off gifts to other charities and named community entities, suggesting donor-directed, community-oriented philanthropy.
A P W Foundation Inc gives in a concentrated way, with repeated support for a small set of Brooklyn-area intermediaries and Jewish communal institutions. One of the clearest patterns is its multi-year backing of Ojc Fund, which received $216,000 in both 2023 and 2025 and $214,700 in 2024. The foundation also channels substantial grants to broad-purpose recipients such as Various Charities in Brooklyn, reflecting a preference for local charitable vehicles alongside direct institutional support. Its recent grants show a strong emphasis on yeshivas, congregations, and community organizations connected to Orthodox Jewish life in and around Brooklyn. Alongside the intermediary grants, the foundation made sizeable gifts to Yeshiva Minchas Elazar, Cong Sharrei Chesed, and Shiras Ruchama. The mix of repeat funding and one-off awards suggests a donor-directed style that supports both recurring priorities and specific local needs. Most grants land in New York, especially Brooklyn and nearby communities, and the foundation’s recent activity stays within the United States. The grant list also includes recipients in Monsey, Lakewood, Airmont, Tallman, and Bloomingburg, showing a local network that extends beyond the city while remaining regionally focused.
The foundation’s clearest cause area is Jewish communal institutions. It gave $60,000 to Yeshiva Minchas Elazar in 2025, $56,000 to Cong Sharrei Chesed in 2025, and $34,700 to Khal Toras Chaim in 2024, all of which point to support for religious schools and congregational infrastructure. A second thread is intermediary giving through charitable fund vehicles. Ojc Fund received $216,000 in 2025, continuing the same $216,000 level from 2023 after a $214,700 grant in 2024. That repeated pattern indicates a stable routing channel within the foundation’s grantmaking. The foundation also funds local community entities beyond Brooklyn. In 2025 it gave $140,000 to Shiras Ruchama in Lakewood, and it awarded $35,000 to Bnos Alta Feige in Tallman. These grants show that its local focus extends to neighboring New Jersey and Hudson Valley communities. Direct support to congregations and yeshivos appears throughout the record, including Cong Keren Ezrah, United Munkacher Yeshivos, and Cong Dvar Moshe Harodenke.
Typical grant sizes are substantial: the distribution sits at $16,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,500 at the median, and $34,525 at the 75th percentile. The recent grants also show a few much larger awards, indicating a concentrated portfolio rather than many small disbursements. Repeat funding is a defining feature. Ojc Fund appears across 2023, 2024, and 2025, and several other recipients recur in multiple years as well. The foundation is structured as a private foundation, gives program-related investments: false, and funds individuals: false. The record provides no application process details.
