The Asath Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on Orthodox Jewish religious life and institutions, funding synagogues, yeshivas, kollels and communal charitable services. Giving is mission-driven toward sustaining day-to-day operations and charitable programming for Jewish institutions rather than broad secular causes. While based in Toms River, NJ, their grants include organizations outside the region, indicating willingness to fund aligned institutions nationally.
Relatively concentrated giving: few, substantial grants with repeat support to core religious beneficiaries. Majority of dollars go to a small set of faith-based Jewish organizations rather than many small, diverse grantees.
Asath Foundation’s recent grantmaking is defined by repeat support for Orthodox Jewish institutions, especially congregations, yeshivas, kollels, and communal aid groups. The largest grant in the file is $110,000 to Congregation Gates of Mercy in Lakewood, NJ, followed by additional awards to the same congregation in 2023 and 2025, showing sustained backing rather than isolated gifts. Other sizable awards went to Chicago Community Kollel in Chicago and to Yeshivas Radin in Lakewood, both of which appear multiple times across the record. The foundation also funds organizations tied to practical community support, including Gmach Chasdei Yitzchak in Brooklyn and Machzikei Yisroel in Lakewood. Many grants are described broadly as being made “to further the charitable purpose of the organization,” which suggests flexible support for recipients’ ongoing activities. The pattern across the grants list points to a funder centered on Jewish religious education, synagogue life, and community welfare organizations, with recurring commitments to the same institutions over several years.
The foundation’s cause areas cluster around Orthodox Jewish religious and educational infrastructure. In synagogue support, it gave $110,000 to Congregation Gates of Mercy in Lakewood for the organization’s charitable purpose, then continued with $48,000 in 2025 and $42,000 in 2023. For yeshiva and Torah study work, it awarded $37,000 to Yeshivas Radin in Lakewood in 2024, along with $27,000 in 2025 and $23,000 in 2023. Kollel support appears as well: Chicago Community Kollel received $50,000 in 2023. The grant list also includes community welfare and free-loan style support, such as $38,500 to Gmach Chasdei Yitzchak in Brooklyn in 2025 and $20,000 in 2024. Across these areas, the purpose language stays broad and organizational rather than project-specific.
Typical grants are small to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,000, a median of $2,000, and a p75 of $8,750. The record shows repeated awards to the same recipients across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to ongoing support rather than one-time gifts. Grants are generally described in broad terms, most often “to further the charitable purpose of the organization,” and the foundation does not fund individuals or program-related investments. The pattern fits a flexible operating-support style, with both larger anchor grants and many smaller awards in the same network of institutions.

Grantmaking is regional but heavily centered in New Jersey, with 67% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. Lakewood, NJ appears repeatedly across the grant list, alongside multiple awards in Brooklyn and New York City. Outside New Jersey and New York, Chicago, IL appears as a recipient location through Chicago Community Kollel. All recorded grants in the dataset go to U.S. recipients.
Its grants go primarily to Orthodox Jewish synagogues, yeshivas, kollels, and communal welfare organizations. Recent examples in the grant list include synagogue support, advanced Torah study, and free-loan or community aid groups, with purposes usually described broadly as furthering the organization’s charitable purpose.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years. Congregation Gates of Mercy, Yeshivas Radin, Gmach Chasdei Yitzchak, Hadar Bais Yaakov, Bais Medrash Westgate, Beth Medrash Govoha of America Ttfy, and Shiras Chaim each received more than one grant in the recent record.
The grant-size distribution is compact: p25 is $1,000, median is $2,000, and p75 is $8,750. Even with some larger awards, many grants fall in the low-thousands, indicating frequent modest support alongside a few larger commitments.
New Jersey is the main recipient state by share of grants, with 67% going to recipients in NJ. Lakewood, NJ shows up repeatedly in the recent grants, while Brooklyn and New York City account for much of the remaining activity.
Most listed grants use the same broad purpose language: “to further the charitable purpose of the organization.” That wording appears across synagogue, education, and community-welfare recipients, suggesting flexible support rather than tightly restricted project grants.
