The Feldman Foundation TX concentrates almost all of its giving on supporting the Dallas Jewish community, primarily through large, discretionary gifts to a community foundation that can direct funds across local religious and charitable needs. A small portion of funding goes to targeted Jewish social service/health initiatives, such as underwriting a medical clinic startup. Their giving is local, communal, and oriented toward sustaining institutional capacity rather than many small project grants.
Feldman Foundation TX’s largest recent grants are recurring unrestricted gifts to the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation, including $800,000 in 2023, $650,000 in 2024, and $600,000 in 2025 for non-specific religious and charitable purposes. That pattern shows a funder that uses a major local vehicle to distribute resources across Dallas Jewish communal needs rather than relying only on many small project grants. A second clear thread is targeted support for Jewish services and crisis-related work. In 2025, the foundation gave $200,000 to Jewish Family Service for a medical clinic startup, while its recent grants also include $100,000 to the Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas for an Israel crisis campaign. Beyond Dallas, the foundation has funded Israel emergency and educational work through intermediaries such as Friends of Elnet and PEF Israel Endowment Funds Inc. Across the recent record, the foundation combines local communal endowment support with selective grants for Jewish social services, emergency relief, and Jewish civic and educational institutions.
In Jewish communal development, the foundation has backed institutional capacity through the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation, including a $600,000 grant in 2025 for non-specific religious and charitable purposes. For health and social services, it gave $200,000 to Jewish Family Service in 2025 for a medical clinic startup, pointing to interest in launching or expanding access to care. Its Israel-related giving appears through intermediaries. Friends of Elnet received $100,000 in 2025 for annual support and DAF for Israel emergency, alongside a $100,000 2024 grant for the same purpose. PEF Israel Endowment Funds Inc. received multiple grants for Signal Group, Impact-SE, Shaharit, Jerusalem Press Club (Mishkanot), and Beit Berl College, showing support for education, media, and policy-adjacent initiatives. The foundation also made a $50,000 grant to Jewish National Fund for a bomb shelter.
Typical grants cluster around mid-five figures: the 25th percentile is $20,000, the median is $30,000, and the 75th percentile is $50,000. The recent record also includes several much larger discretionary grants, especially to the Dallas Jewish Community Foundation. Recipients recur across multiple years, which points to relationship-based funding rather than one-off awards. The foundation funds individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants also show use of DAF-advised or intermediary organizations, including Friends of Elnet and PEF Israel Endowment Funds Inc.
