About Ades Family Foundation
A single $1,000,000 charitable donation to Sociedade Ben Israelita in São Paulo appears at the top of the foundation’s recent record, and it helps define the Ades Family Foundation Inc’s style: infrequent grants, often at substantial size, to Jewish communal institutions and education-related organizations. The foundation’s giving is centered on Jewish communal and charitable causes, with repeated support for established organizations rather than many small awards. Recent recipients range from American Israel Education Foundation in Washington, DC, to Michael-Ann Russell JCC in Miami, showing a pattern of backing institutions that serve Jewish community life, education, and connections to Israel. The record also includes support for regional Jewish organizations and schools, including Hillel School of Tampa, Scheck Hillel Community School, and Jewish Leadership Academy. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s approach looks highly targeted: large one-time gifts, often unrestricted or charitable in nature, directed to a small set of named organizations with visible community roles.
What Ades Family Foundation Funds
Jewish communal infrastructure is a consistent theme. The foundation gave $50,000 to Michael-Ann Russell JCC in Miami for charitable donation, and also supported Centro Judaico De Miami Inc in Miami with $10,000 charitable donations in both 2024 and 2025. Education is another clear area: Hillel School of Tampa received $50,000 in 2025, while Jewish Leadership Academy in Miami received $13,500 in 2025. The foundation also backs organizations connected to Israel and Jewish civic life. American Israel Education Foundation in Washington, DC received $75,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and American Friends of LIBI in Brookline, MA received $137,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2023, plus $43,500 in 2024. These grants show support for both local institutions and organizations with broader regional or international Jewish ties.
