The Allen I GROSS Charitable Foundation predominantly funds Orthodox Jewish religious, educational, and direct-assistance organizations, mainly in the New York area. Its largest awards go to yeshivas, Aish-related outreach programs, and congregations that provide community and poverty relief, with occasional support for local health institutions. The foundation appears focused on sustaining traditional Jewish day schools, synagogue-led social services, and religious outreach efforts.
Aish Center received the foundation’s largest recent grant at $156,000 in 2023, setting the tone for a grantmaker that backs Orthodox Jewish outreach, day schools, and community relief. Allen I Gross Charitable Foundation’s recent awards also show repeated support for Yeshiva Tiferes Yisroel, which received $83,500 in 2023 and additional grants in 2024 and 2025, and for Project Inspire, which was funded in both 2023 and 2024. The pattern points to sustained support for religious organizations and direct assistance rather than one-time event funding. The foundation’s grant list is dominated by Jewish educational and congregational institutions in New York and nearby communities, with awards to yeshivas, Bais Yaakov schools, and Aish-affiliated programs. Several recipients appear more than once across the 2023-2025 period, including Congregation Khal Chasidim, Mesores Bais Yaakov, Agudath Israel Bais Binyomin, and Aish Hatorah Inc. Smaller awards extend to local health and emergency-response charities tied to the same community network, including Maimonides Medical Center and Hatzolah organizations. The overall picture is of a regular funder supporting faith-based infrastructure and basic-needs relief through established institutions.
In Orthodox Jewish education, the foundation backed schools and yeshivas with grants such as $39,500 to Bais Yaakov D'rav Meir in 2023, $27,000 to Yeshivas Toras Chaim in 2023, and $11,600 to Yeshiva Torah Vodaath in 2023. These awards sit alongside later support for Mesores Bais Yaakov and Bnos Yaakov High School. For religious outreach, Allen I Gross Charitable Foundation funded Project Inspire with $35,000 in 2023 and $52,750 in 2024, and gave $25,000 to Aish Hatorah Inc in 2025 after a $20,302 grant in 2024. Aish Detroit also appears in the grant list with $6,100 in 2025. Basic-needs relief is another recurring theme. The foundation gave $35,000 to Cong Chasdei Lev in 2024, $26,500 to Congregation Khal Chasidim in 2025, and $5,000 to Ohel Children's Home in 2024. It also supported emergency-response and care organizations such as Hatzoloh Ems of Rockland County and Hatzolah Air Emergency Response Team.
Grant sizes are small at the center and larger at the upper end: the typical award is $180 at the 25th percentile, $360 at the median, and $1,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list shows a few large outliers above that range, which suggests a mix of routine support and occasional larger commitments. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Yeshiva Tiferes Yisroel, Project Inspire, Aish Hatorah Inc, Mesores Bais Yaakov, and Agudath Israel Bais Binyomin. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
