The Colman Family Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on Orthodox Jewish religious life and institutions, primarily funding yeshivas, kollels and community welfare organizations. Grants appear directed toward supporting rabbinical education, day-to-day communal services (like bikur cholim), and sustaining specific Hasidic/Vizhnitz-affiliated institutions. The foundation makes a small number of relatively large grants to mission-aligned organizations rather than many small, dispersed gifts.
Concentrated giving: a handful of moderate-to-large grants per cycle focused on religious education and community welfare, with recurring support to multiple Vizhnitz-affiliated entities rather than broad exploratory funding.
The Colman Family Charitable Foundation gives at a small scale to a tightly defined circle of Orthodox Jewish institutions, with recent grants clustered around Vizhnitz-linked yeshivas, kollels, and community support organizations. Two of the largest 2025 grants were $40,000 each, one to Viznitz in Kiamesha Lake, New York, and one to Yeshiva Vizhnits in Monsey, New York, signaling sustained support for Hasidic educational institutions. The foundation also funded Yeshiva Hatorah Inc in Boynton Beach, Florida, at $31,500 in 2024, alongside a broader set of local gifts that support day-to-day communal religious life. Its portfolio includes grants to yeshivas, kollels, and welfare-oriented Jewish organizations rather than a broad mix of secular causes. In the recent grants list, that includes Bikur Cholim in Los Angeles, Kolel International Inc in Lakewood, and Kekilas Yaakov in Boynton Beach. The recurring pattern is mission-aligned support for institutions that serve Torah study, rabbinical education, and community care. Grant amounts are often modest, but the foundation also makes larger awards when the recipient fits its core religious and communal priorities.
A central theme is support for Torah study and rabbinical training. In 2025, the foundation gave $13,600 to Kolel International Inc in Lakewood, New Jersey, and also awarded $5,000 to Kolel Toros Moshe in Brooklyn, New York, reflecting direct support for full-time study environments. It also funds yeshivas tied to Orthodox and Hasidic communities. One example is $7,200 to Yeshiva Rav Isacsohn Academy in Los Angeles in 2025, while Yeshiva Hatorah Inc received $31,500 in Boynton Beach in 2024. Community health and mutual-aid support appears as well. The foundation granted $20,000 to Bikur Cholim in Los Angeles in 2025, and made gifts to congregational institutions such as Sharei Chesed in Boynton Beach and Westlake Village.
Typical grant size is small: the 25th percentile is $500, the median is $1,000, and the 75th percentile is $3,519. That distribution fits a pattern of many modest awards with occasional larger grants. The foundation’s giving is local in scope, and the recipient state is consistently Florida in the available data, even though some grantees are located elsewhere. The pattern also shows repeated support for some organizations across multiple years, including Yeshiva Vizhnits, Kolel International Inc, Telshe Yeshiva Riverdale, Kolel Toros Moshe, and Chabad Boyton. It funds individuals and operates as a charitable foundation rather than a private operating grantmaker or program-related-investment vehicle.
