The Aaron Laub Memorial Foundation concentrates its giving on a very small number of local, community-focused causes in Queens, NY. Its grants combine significant support for Jewish communal life (a beis medrash/congregation) with substantial funding for cancer care programs, suggesting a mix of religious/institutional philanthropy and health-related charity targeted to the local Jewish community.
Very concentrated portfolio with only two grants: one large gift (majority of funds) to a cancer care organization and a smaller but meaningful grant to a local religious institution. Appears to make infrequent, sizable awards rather than many small grants.
A $100,000 grant to Project Yechi for cancer care is the clearest signal in the Aaron Laub Memorial Foundation’s recent giving: the foundation supports a small set of Jewish communal, educational, and relief-oriented organizations, with especially visible support for cancer-related services and Orthodox institutions in Queens and nearby New York and New Jersey communities. Its grants also show repeated support for Beis Medrash Queens, including $34,400 for congregation support in 2024 and $31,500 for education in 2025, alongside funding for Chazaq in Flushing. That mix points to a funder that pairs institutional support for congregations and yeshivas with direct aid for community needs. The grant list includes organizations serving the needy, emergency service, burial society work, and assistance tied to illness. The pattern is local and tightly focused rather than broad-based, with giving concentrated among a limited number of recipients and many awards clustered around faith-based or communal infrastructure. The foundation’s recent activity also includes cancer-care support through RCCS and assistance for the needy through Project Renewal, reinforcing a practical, direct-service approach to philanthropy within the Jewish community.
The Aaron Laub Memorial Foundation gives across several connected cause areas. In cancer care, it awarded $100,000 to Project Yechi for cancer care and $12,800 to RCCS for cancer care. In education, it supported a wide range of Jewish schools and learning institutions, including $25,000 to Chazaq for education and $20,000 to Heichal Hatorah for education. Congregation-centered giving is also present: Beis Medrash Queens received $34,400 for congregation support in 2024 and $31,500 for education in 2025, while Ohr Hatorah in Bergenfield received $18,000 for congregation support in 2023. The portfolio also includes aid for the needy, emergency service, and burial society work, showing a broader communal relief pattern within Orthodox Jewish settings.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the five-figure range, with p25 at $5,000, a median of $10,000, and p75 at $15,900. The recent grant list shows repeat recipients across multiple years, including Beis Medrash Queens, Chazaq, Heichal Hatorah, Shuvu, and several New Jersey yeshivas, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation’s giving is structured as private foundation grantmaking, not program-related investments, and it also funds individuals. The recipient mix is heavily community-based and faith-linked, with awards often directed to institutions that provide education, congregation life, or direct assistance.
