The Gevuois Foundation concentrates its giving on Orthodox Jewish religious life in Brooklyn, directing substantial support to congregations and Jewish communal charities. Grants are primarily unrestricted or general support for 501(c)(3) religious organizations, often to Hasidic synagogues and affiliated relief/charitable arms. The foundation gives relatively large awards to a small set of faith-based organizations, reflecting a focused, community-centered philanthropy.
Concentrated, relatively large grants to a small number of repeat religious grantees (multiple multi-thousand-dollar awards to the same organizations rather than many small, diverse recipients).
A $100,000 grant to Machne Rav Tov, repeated in both 2023 and 2024, captures the Gevuois Foundation’s pattern: concentrated support for Orthodox Jewish religious institutions and communal charities, mainly in Brooklyn. The foundation’s recent grants repeatedly back congregations, yeshivas, and affiliated relief organizations that describe their work as support for 501(c)(3) exempt functions, exempt activities, or religious activities. That includes substantial awards to Keren Zichron Shmiel Zanvel, Rav Chesed, and Yeshiva Kehilath Yakov, alongside grants to congregations in Brooklyn and nearby Orthodox communities such as Spring Valley, Monsey, Monroe, Lakewood, and Swan Lake. The giving profile suggests a small circle of faith-based grantees receiving multiple awards over time, rather than a broad, one-time grantmaking program. The foundation’s awards are often large enough to cover core organizational needs, with several five-figure grants recurring across years. Across the recent grant list, the same kinds of institutions appear again and again: synagogues, yeshivas, and Jewish charitable entities serving Hasidic and Orthodox community life.
In congregational support, Gevuois Foundation backed Congregation Adas Yereim with $33,950 in 2025 for religious activities and gave $25,000 to Congregation Imrei Pinchas Koritz in 2024 for exempt activities. It also supported Congregation of Avnei Shlomo with $35,625 in 2025 and Congregation Bais Usher Mordche Inc with $22,795 in 2024, both for exempt activities. The foundation also funded yeshiva-related work, including $20,000 to Congregation Yeshiva Bnei Yesoscher in 2024 and $15,125 to Yeshiva Kehilath Yakov in 2024 for exempt functions. A related strand shows support for charitable religious organizations: $31,630 to Rav Chesed in 2024 and $19,005 to Congregation Keren Yosef in 2025, both described as support for 501(c)(3) exempt function.
Typical awards are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $1,350, a median grant of $5,000, and a p75 of $13,835. The recent grant list shows a mix of recurring and one-off support: Machne Rav Tov, Keren Zichron Shmiel Zanvel, Rav Chesed, Congregation Bnei Yoel, Yeshiva Kehilath Yakov, Congregation Toldos Naftali, and Cong Yetev Lev South 8 each appear in multiple years. The foundation is a private foundation that does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The award descriptions consistently point to core exempt support rather than restricted project funding.
