Chasdei Yisroel is a highly focused Orthodox Jewish funder that overwhelmingly supports synagogues, yeshivas, kollels and other communal religious institutions in the New York-area Orthodox community. The foundation concentrates both large capital or multi-year gifts to a small number of core congregational/yeshiva recipients and smaller allocations to local community support organizations, Torah education programs and charitable loan/gemach funds. Its giving is explicitly faith-centered and geared toward sustaining day-to-day religious life, advanced Torah study, and community social services within that denominational ecosystem.
Chasdei Yisroel Inc’s recent giving is anchored by a long-running commitment to Congregation Olam Chesed, which received $775,000 in 2025, $700,000 in 2024, and $500,000 in 2023 for general support. That repeated support points to a funder that backs core operating needs rather than one-time projects. Across its grant list, the foundation supports Orthodox Jewish synagogues, yeshivas, kollelim, and related communal institutions, with gifts ranging from small community allocations to six-figure commitments. The pattern is centered on sustaining religious life and Torah study in Orthodox communities, especially in New York and nearby regional hubs. The recent record also shows support for institutions serving different parts of that ecosystem: Kehilas Bais Yisroel in Denver received $117,800 in 2025 and $87,000 in 2023, while Yeshiva Toras Yisroel in Brooklyn received $93,750 in 2025. Alongside these larger awards, the foundation makes many smaller general-support grants to day schools, kollelim, community resource groups, and charitable funds that serve Orthodox families and institutions.
A major theme in Chasdei Yisroel Inc’s giving is synagogue and shul support. Congregation Olam Chesed in Lakewood received the largest award in the record, and other congregational grants went to Kehilas Bais Yisroel in Denver, Cong Divrei Chaim in Monsey, and Congregation Gur Aryeh Institute in Brooklyn. Another clear area is advanced Torah study. The foundation backed Kollel Avreichim in Brooklyn, Lawrence Far Rockaway Community Kollel in Far Rockaway, and Kollel International Inc in Lakewood with general-support grants. It also funded Bais Medrash Govoha in Brooklyn. Educational support extends to day schools and yeshivas. Torah Academy for Girls in Far Rockaway appears multiple times across the record, and the foundation also supported Yeshiva Even Yisroel in Lakewood and Machon Beer Hatorah Inc in Lakewood. Community-facing organizations such as Achiezer Community Resource Center and charitable funds like Keren Zichron Tzvi Gemach and Davis Memorial Fund round out the portfolio.
Chasdei Yisroel Inc’s typical grant size sits in a relatively tight band: the 25th percentile is $9,250, the median is $13,950, and the 75th percentile is $23,799. That distribution sits alongside a much larger set of core-support awards, including repeated grants to the same institutions across multiple years. The clearest example is Congregation Olam Chesed, which received support in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also shows continuity with Kehilas Bais Yisroel, Davis Memorial Fund, Torah Academy for Girls, and Yeshiva Even Yisroel appearing in more than one year. The giving profile is regional, and the grants are overwhelmingly general support rather than project-specific awards.

Concentrated faith-based giving: a small number of large, repeated gifts (notably one very large multi-grant recipient) complemented by many modest to mid-size awards to local yeshivas, kollels, schools and community service groups. Predominantly local and denominationally targeted rather than broad or national grantmaking.
Notable grantees: Congregation Olam Chesed Inc, Kehilas Bais Yisroel, Yeshiva Toras Yisroel, Lawrence Far Rockaway Community Kollel, Achiezer Community Resource Center
Grant recipients are concentrated in New York, which accounts for 69% of grants. Brooklyn, Far Rockaway, Lawrence, Lakewood, and Woodmere appear repeatedly in the recent record, with additional awards in Monsey and the Bronx. Outside New York, the foundation also gives in New Jersey and Colorado, including Lakewood, NJ and Denver, CO. All recorded recipients are in the United States.
The recent record is centered on Orthodox Jewish synagogues, yeshivas, kollelim, day schools, and related communal institutions. It also includes community resource groups and charitable funds that serve Orthodox families and religious communities.
The foundation’s grant-size distribution is fairly compact: p25 is $9,250, median grant size is $13,950, and p75 is $23,799. That suggests many awards cluster in the low- to mid-five-figure range.
Yes. While 69% of grants go to recipients in New York, the recent grant list also includes organizations in New Jersey and Colorado, such as Lakewood, NJ and Denver, CO.
Several recipients appear across multiple years, showing repeat support rather than isolated gifts. Congregation Olam Chesed appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Kehilas Bais Yisroel, Torah Academy for Girls, Davis Memorial Fund, and Yeshiva Even Yisroel also recur.
Recent grantees include Congregation Olam Chesed in Lakewood, Yeshiva Toras Yisroel in Brooklyn, Kehilas Bais Yisroel in Denver, Torah Academy for Girls in Far Rockaway, and Achiezer Community Resource Center in Lawrence.
