American Friends of Netanya Inc concentrates its giving on Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions, primarily supporting yeshivas, kollels, synagogues, and Chabad centers. Grants are targeted toward operational and program support for institutions that provide traditional Torah study, rabbinical training, and community religious services, with many recipients located in New Jersey and the Northeast. The foundation appears to prioritize sustaining day-to-day religious education and community infrastructure rather than secular or broad-based social services.
American Friends of Netanya Inc directs most of its giving to Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions, with grants that support yeshivas, kollels, synagogues, and Chabad centers. In the recent grants list, its largest award was $25,000 to Cheder Toras Zev in Lakewood, New Jersey, followed by $22,000 to Touro College and University in New York. Those awards fit a broader pattern of institutional support for Torah study, rabbinical training, and community religious services. The foundation’s recipient list includes schools and congregations serving different stages of religious education and community life, from elementary instruction to advanced study. Lakewood appears repeatedly among recipients, as do Brooklyn and other New Jersey communities. Several grants are repeated across years, suggesting ongoing support rather than isolated gifts. The organization’s activity is regional and concentrated in the Northeast, with all listed grants going to U.S. recipients. Its funding profile points to day-to-day operating and program support for faith-based institutions rather than broad secular philanthropy. The grant sizes mostly sit in the mid-thousands to low five figures, which aligns with support for routine institutional needs across a relatively small portfolio of grantees.
One clear theme is Orthodox Jewish education. American Friends of Netanya Inc gave $20,000 to Congregation Kesser Bais Yaakov in Lakewood for religious and educational purposes, and $14,700 in 2025 to Talmudical Academy of NJ in Adelphia. Advanced study is another major lane. The foundation awarded $6,550 in 2023 to Kollel Ohel Torah in Brooklyn and returned with a $6,000 grant in 2025 to the same recipient, showing support for ongoing rabbinical or Talmudic study. Its grant list also includes congregational and outreach institutions. Congregation Pri Aharon in Lakewood received $10,000, while Chabad Lubavitc Mitzvah in Brooklyn was funded at $15,000. A separate grant of $12,500 went to Limmudei Lotte Inc in Palm Beach Gardens, extending support to girls’ religious education.
Typical grants cluster in a narrow band: the 25th percentile is $6,825, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $13,790. That spread suggests a steady pattern of mid-sized awards rather than very large one-time gifts. The portfolio also shows repeat giving. American Friends of Morris M Horowitz appears in both 2024 and 2025, as do Chasdei Shimon, Cheder Toras Zev, Talmudical Academy of NJ, Yeshiva Gedolah Naos Yaakov, and Kollel Ohel Torah. The organization does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments, which is consistent with institutional grantmaking.
