About Anna Sobol Levy Foundation
The Anna Sobol Levy Foundation concentrates its giving on supporting an Israeli private university (Reichman University/IDC Herzliya) through U.S.-based 'American Friends' intermediaries. Grants are explicitly directed to advance the institution's exempt purposes—likely academic programs, research, scholarships or institutional development—rather than a broad set of domestic charities. The foundation’s geographic focus is Israel, with a clear emphasis on higher education and affiliated public-policy or research activities.

About Anna Sobol Levy Foundation
Anna Sobol Levy Foundation Inc. centers its giving on Reichman University in Israel, with grants routed through U.S.-based American Friends organizations rather than a broad set of domestic nonprofits. The foundation’s recent record shows a consistent institutional relationship: $190,000 in 2025 to American Friends of Reichman Univer, $200,000 in 2023 to American Friends of Idc - Herzliya, and $165,000 in 2024 to the same IDC Herzliya affiliate. Those grants were made to accomplish the exempt purposes of the recipient organizations, indicating support for the university’s underlying mission and affiliated educational work. The foundation also operates an active fellowship program for U.S. citizen college graduates. Its named fellowships support master’s study in English at the Raphael Recanati International School of Reichman University, with eligible fields including counter-terrorism, intelligence, diplomacy, conflict studies, and machine learning. That structure places the foundation at the intersection of higher education, international security studies, and advanced technical training.
What Anna Sobol Levy Foundation Funds
Higher education is the clearest theme in the foundation’s giving. The $190,000 grant in 2025 to American Friends of Reichman Univer was directed to accomplish that organization’s exempt purpose, reinforcing support for Reichman University’s institutional work. A second lane is the university’s affiliated support network. In 2024, Anna Sobol Levy Foundation Inc. gave $165,000 to American Friends of Idc - Herzliya for the same exempt-purpose language, showing continued backing for the U.S. intermediary tied to the Israeli institution. The foundation also funds graduate training through fellowships. Its fellowship program supports U.S. citizen college graduates who enroll in English-language master’s programs at the Raphael Recanati International School, with options in counter-terrorism and intelligence, diplomacy and conflict studies, and machine learning. Those program areas show a blend of policy, security, and technical study.
How Anna Sobol Levy Foundation Gives
Typical grants are tightly clustered: p25 is $177,500, median is $190,000, and p75 is $195,000. The recent grants are repeated institutional awards rather than one-off experiments, with American Friends of Idc - Herzliya appearing in multiple years and American Friends of Reichman Univer also receiving support. The foundation does not fund individuals through grants, but it does run fellowship programs. It also makes no program-related investments, and the fellowship applications are unsolicited.
