About Dinim Foundation
The Dinin Foundation concentrates its giving on Orthodox Jewish institutions and community welfare, directing large gifts to yeshivas, religious study centers, and outreach organizations that promote Jewish heritage. Grants are few but sizable and often awarded repeatedly to the same organizations, indicating long-term relationships with core grantees. Support appears focused on charitable and community-stabilizing activities within Jewish religious life rather than broad secular causes.

About Dinim Foundation
Dinim Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by a long pattern of support for Orthodox Jewish institutions and community welfare groups, with repeated large grants to the same core organizations. One of the clearest examples is Khal Tiferes Tifilah in Suffern, New York, which received $209,000 in 2023 and additional support in later years. Another recurring recipient, The Katan Foundation in Flushing, New York, was funded at $145,500 in 2023 and $67,060 in 2024. That pattern points to a funder that builds sustained relationships rather than dispersing many one-time awards. The foundation’s grants also reach yeshivas, Torah study settings, outreach organizations, and charities serving Orthodox Jewish communities. Meohr Bais Yaakov in Lakewood, New Jersey, received multiple grants across 2024 and 2025, while Ohr Dovid Outreach in Brooklyn was funded for Jewish heritage awareness. Alongside institutional support, Dinim Foundation operates a General Emergency Assistance (Tzedakah) program for individuals and families facing urgent needs such as tuition, rent, utilities, medical bills, meals, clothing, and religious items. Its overall profile shows a mix of religious education, community stabilization, and direct assistance within Jewish communal life.

The Katan Foundation in Flushing received $145,500 in 2023 and $67,060 in 2024, while Chasdei Lev in Brooklyn received $20,000 in 2024 and $18,000 in 2023.
