The Atlantic Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on Orthodox Jewish religious life and community support, with the largest dollars directed to synagogues, yeshivas, rabbinical councils and Jewish philanthropic relief funds. A second consistent strand is direct financial aid/tzedakah for individuals and brides (kallah) as well as support for Jewish day/yeshiva education. Grants are often repeat payments to the same institutions and include a mix of sizable gifts to core congregations and many smaller awards to community organizations.
Atlantic Charitable Foundation’s grantmaking is anchored by repeated support for Orthodox Jewish religious and communal institutions, with several large awards going to the same core organizations over multiple years. A standout example is Congregation Ahavas Tzdokah Vchesed in Brooklyn, which received $45,000 in 2023, $50,000 in 2024, and $35,700 in 2025. Another recurring recipient is Vaad Harabonim Linyanei Tzedaka in Lakewood, which received $55,000 in 2023 and additional grants of $35,000 and $15,000 in later years. The foundation also backs yeshivas and Jewish day-school education, including Yeshivas Chaim Berlin and Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns, alongside smaller grants for relief-oriented and community support groups. Its recent grants show a mix of larger institutional gifts and smaller awards to local organizations and aid funds. The largest listed grants sit in the mid-five-figure range, while many awards are sized for specific programs or operating needs. Across the recent record, the pattern is less about one-off project funding than sustained support for a defined network of religious, educational, and tzedakah institutions.
In synagogue and communal religious support, Atlantic Charitable Foundation gave $35,700 to Congregation Ahavas Tzdokah Vchesed for religious purposes in 2025, following earlier grants of $50,000 in 2024 and $45,000 in 2023. They also funded Congregation Paile Yoetz with $20,000 in 2023 and $15,000 in 2024, and gave $10,000 to Kew Gardens Synagogue in 2024. Education is another steady theme. The foundation awarded $12,600 to Yeshivas Chaim Berlin in 2025 after prior gifts of $8,400 in 2023 and $8,400 in 2024. It also gave $7,200 to Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns in 2025. Tzedakah and financial aid appear in the grants to Vaad Harabonim Linyanei Tzedaka, which received $55,000 in 2023 and $35,000 in 2025, and to Avigdors Helping Hand Inc, which received $6,000 in 2025.
Typical grant sizes cluster around a median of $10,000, with the middle half of awards ranging from $5,275 at the 25th percentile to $25,000 at the 75th percentile. The record shows repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially for congregations, yeshivas, and tzedakah organizations, which points to ongoing rather than purely one-time relationships. The foundation operates with a small asset base relative to annual grants, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The listed grants suggest direct grantmaking rather than an application-driven or intermediary structure.
