The Bais Ephraim Charitable Foundation Trust concentrates its giving on Orthodox Jewish communal life, funding religious-educational institutions and local welfare charities. Grants are largely large, mission-focused awards to a small set of repeat recipients (including named yeshiva/school and charity networks) rather than many one-off gifts. The foundation appears to prefer funding institutional operating or program support for Jewish day schools, yeshivot, and community-based tzedakah/chesed organizations.
Concentrated giving: a small number of large grants totaling most of annual giving, with repeat multi‑grant relationships to core grantees and occasional discretionary allocations labeled as 'Various Charities'.
The Bais Ephraim Charitable Foundation Trust gives at substantial scale to Orthodox Jewish educational and charitable institutions, with a recent pattern of seven-figure support alongside many large operating-style grants. Its largest recent award was $1.4 million to Global Center of Square in Spring Valley, followed by $450,000 to the same organization, showing repeated backing for the same communal institution. The grant list also includes sizable support for Ahavas Tzedakah Vchesed, the American Committee for Sanz Institutions, and OJC Fund, all tied to Jewish communal infrastructure rather than individual giving. Recent grants point to a funder that concentrates on yeshivot, schools, and tzedakah/chesed networks serving Orthodox neighborhoods. Several awards are directed to organizations in Monsey, Brooklyn, Spring Valley, and New Square, and the naming pattern across recipients suggests support for institutions with religious, educational, and welfare functions. The foundation’s giving profile is not one of scattered small gifts; instead, it repeatedly returns to a small set of organizations and community funds, with multiple grants to the same recipients across years and amounts ranging from five figures to well into the hundreds of thousands.
In education-related giving, the foundation backed Global Center of Square with $1.4 million for educational and charitable work, and also gave $100,000 to Mosdos Hatorah Vhachesed of Peni Menachem for the same broad purpose. It also supported Beth Rochel with $65,000 and Tiferes Gedalia Campus Project with $62,500, both in 2025. For community charity and relief, the trust gave $422,000 to Ahavas Tzedakah Vchesed and $295,000 to OJC Fund, both labeled educational and charitable. It also made $100,000 grants to Emergency Parnossa Initiative and to Cong Ahavas Tzdokah V'Chesed, showing direct support for local aid structures. The Sanz network appears as another clear line of support: the American Committee for Sanz Institutions received $400,000 in 2025. Jerusalem-based giving is present as well, including $150,000 to M L T Y and $100,000 to the same recipient in 2025.
Typical grants cluster in five figures and low six figures: the p25 is $5,000, the median is $10,300, and the p75 is $31,538, even though the top awards are much larger. The foundation’s recent list shows repeat recipients across years, including several organizations that appear more than once, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. Grants are made by a charitable trust, not to individuals, and the data does not show a program-application process. The pattern is consistent with broad educational and charitable support rather than tightly restricted project grants.
