The Feldman Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish religious and communal institutions in the New Jersey / Palisades area, with large gifts earmarked for Chabad centers and Jewish eldercare organizations. Grants are focused, modest in number, and directed toward sustaining local Orthodox outreach, religious programming, and residential care for older adults. The foundation appears to prioritize local Jewish community infrastructure over broad national or secular causes.
Feldman Charitable Foundation’s giving is most recognizable for repeated support of Chabad Lubavitch on the Palisades in Tenafly, where a single 2024 grant reached $82,808 and later grants continued in 2025 and 2023. That pattern points to a funder that returns to the same Jewish institutions over time rather than scattering support widely. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs Orthodox outreach centers, Jewish eldercare providers, and local religious and educational organizations, usually with purpose language tied to religious, medical, educational, or other charitable use. Several grantees appear more than once, including Valley Chabad in Woodcliff Lake, Ohar Sadadya in Teaneck, and Chabad Lubavitch of NW CT in Litchfield, showing an emphasis on sustaining familiar institutions through multiple awards. The foundation also extends smaller grants to Jewish and community organizations outside northern New Jersey, but the overall pattern remains centered on Jewish communal infrastructure. The foundation’s giving is modest in size compared with major institutional grantmakers, yet it is active across many awards and years, with support that appears practical and organization-focused.
A clear theme is Orthodox Jewish outreach. The foundation gave $12,750 in 2025 to Chabad Lubavitch of NW CT in Litchfield for religious, medical, educational, or other charitable purposes, and also supported Chabad Lubavitch CT in Waterbury in 2024. Similar grants to Valley Chabad in Woodcliff Lake and Chabad Lubavitch on Palisades in Tenafly show a regional pattern around Chabad-centered institutions. Jewish eldercare is another visible area. In 2023, the foundation gave $11,340 to Jewish Home Of Rockleigh in Rockleigh, and in 2025 it awarded $10,790 to Jewish Home Foundation in the same town. Educational and communal programming also appears in the data: Pressman Academy in Los Angeles received $5,000 in both 2024 and 2025, and Temple Aliyah in Needham received two 2025 grants of $2,360 and $2,000.
Typical grant size is small, with a p25 of $180, median of $500, and p75 of $1,162. The recent grants list shows a mix of repeated awards and one-off gifts, including multiple grants to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That pattern suggests ongoing institutional support rather than isolated project funding. The foundation appears to operate as a private family-style grantmaker with flexible-purpose giving, since the grant descriptions are broad and often read “For Religious, Medical, educational or other charitable.” No application process is shown in the provided data.
