The Ann and David Kuppermann Foundation concentrates on large capital and program-expansion gifts primarily within Orthodox Jewish educational, medical, and disability service institutions. Grants are aimed at bricks-and-mortar projects and specialized health/service units (camp medical outreach, cataract and IVF units, school building expansions, and rehabilitation centers), supporting both U.S. Jewish day schools/early childhood programs and Israeli hospitals and social-service organizations.
A defining feature of the Ann and David Kuppermann Foundation is its repeated use of large capital gifts to move Orthodox Jewish institutions through building projects and service expansions. In 2025, the foundation gave $693,000 to Sharei Zedek Hospital for dedication of a cataract unit and $690,000 to American Friends of Laniado Hospita for expansion of an IVF unit, showing a clear willingness to fund specialized medical infrastructure at substantial scale. The same pattern appears in education and community services: Queens Yeshiva Ketana received $693,000 for building expansion, and Lakewood Cheder School received the same amount for building refurbishment. Other major grants supported Rofeh Cholim Cancer Center, Bonei Olam, and The Cheder, pointing to a portfolio built around facilities, program growth, and dedicated service spaces. The foundation’s grants also reach disability services, youth health outreach, and emergency medical support, but the common thread is project-based funding tied to physical capacity or specialized service delivery. Its giving is regional rather than national, with most grants landing in New York and New Jersey, alongside selected support in Arizona.
The foundation’s education funding centers on Orthodox Jewish schools and early learning spaces. It gave $693,000 to Queens Yeshiva Ketana for building expansion, $693,000 to Lakewood Cheder School for building refurbishment, and $250,000 to The Cheder for a pre-school early development wing. Special education also appears in multiple grants: Ichud Mosdos Hachinuch received $100,000 for special education and another $100,000 for a class for children with learning disabilities. Health-related grantmaking includes $693,000 to Sharei Zedek Hospital for a cataract unit and $690,000 to American Friends of Laniado Hospita for expansion of an IVF unit. On the service side, Chai Lifeline Inc received $693,000 to expand services of Camp Simcha Without Borders, and Queens Hatzolah Inc received $100,000 for an ambulance purchase.
Typical grants are sizeable, with a p25 of $32,500, a median of $66,250, and a p75 of $137,500, while the recent list also includes multiple six-figure and seven-figure-scale awards. The pattern looks project-driven rather than unrestricted: grants are tied to building expansion, refurbishment, dedicated units, equipment, or named program growth. Recipients recur across years in a few cases, including Ichud Mosdos Hachinuch, American Friends of Magen David Ado, and Congregation Ahava Tzodokoh V'Chese, suggesting follow-on support for ongoing initiatives. The foundation is not listed as funding individuals and does not make program-related investments.
