Global Center of Gur Inc is a donor-advised or family foundation that overwhelmingly supports Orthodox Jewish communal, religious and charitable institutions tied to the Gur/Chassidic community both in the United States (Brooklyn/Monsey) and in Israel. Its grants primarily fund synagogues, kollels, girls' religious schooling, and traditional community welfare (kupot/chesed), with repeated large contributions to umbrella 'Friends of' and Gur-affiliated entities. The foundation's giving signals an institutional commitment to sustaining Gur religious infrastructure and providing direct relief to needy members of that community.
Global Center of Gur Inc centers its giving on Gur-affiliated Orthodox Jewish institutions, with repeat support for umbrella entities that distribute funds to synagogues and needy individuals. The largest recent grant in the data was $620,000 to Friends of Mosdot Goor in 2024, followed by $512,135 to Friends of Mosdos Gur in 2023. Those umbrella organizations appear as conduits for support to Gur-related religious infrastructure and communal welfare. The foundation’s recent grants also show direct backing for synagogue networks and community aid groups in Brooklyn, Monsey, Staten Island, and beyond. Cong Chasdei Gur Monsey received multiple grants, while Ahavat Yisroel Humanity Inc, Kupath Rabbi Meir Baal Haness, and Friends of Arad also recur in the grant list. The pattern points to institutional support for shuls, kupot, and chesed-oriented distribution within an Orthodox Jewish framework. Smaller awards move into education and religious scholarship as well, including girls’ religious schooling and kollels. Across the recent grants, the foundation uses a mix of large umbrella grants and smaller direct gifts, but the recipient set remains tightly tied to Gur community institutions and adjacent Orthodox Jewish charities.
A central theme is Gur umbrella philanthropy. Global Center of Gur Inc gave $241,795 to Werdiger Family Foundation Inc in 2023 and $211,000 to Friends of Mosdos Gur in 2023, both described as vehicles to distribute funds to Orthodox Jewish synagogues and needy individuals. Religious education is another clear strand. In 2023, the foundation gave $50,000 to Ashdod Mercaz Chinuch, and it supported Bais Yaakov D'chassidei Gur with $13,100 and $11,800 in 2023. Those grants place girls’ schooling within the broader Gur institutional network. The grant list also includes Jewish welfare and scholarship support. Kupath Rabbi Meir Baal Haness received $151,500 in 2023 and $53,500 in 2024, while Kupath Ramban Kolel Polin received $22,018 in 2024. These gifts fit a pattern of backing communal relief and religious learning institutions.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $10,525, a median of $39,895, and a p75 of $69,188. The recent list shows both very large umbrella grants and many smaller operating-style gifts, suggesting layered support rather than a single grant size. Recipients repeat across years: Friends of Mosdos Gur appears in 2023 and 2024, and several other organizations also receive more than one award. Global Center of Gur Inc is a public charity, and the record does not indicate an application process.

Concentrated giving with a small number of very large grants (two gifts totaling over $1.3M to 'Friends of Mosdos/Mosdot Goor') alongside numerous repeated mid- and small-sized awards to local Gur synagogues, kollels and welfare organizations; high donor loyalty with many repeat grantees and a clear religious/communal focus rather than broad, diversified philanthropy.
Notable grantees: Friends of Mosdos Gur / Friends of Mosdot Goor, Kupath Rabbi Meir Baal Haness, Congregation Chasdei Gur Monsey, Ahavat Yisroel Humanity (community welfare), Bais Yaakov D'Chassidei Gur
Giving is highly concentrated in New York: 96% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and New York is also the top state by grant count. Brooklyn is the most visible recipient city, with additional grants in Airmont, Staten Island, Lakewood, Monroe, and Monsey. Outside the United States, the recipient country distribution shows no grants at all, so the recent record is entirely domestic.
It funds Orthodox Jewish synagogues, Gur-affiliated umbrella organizations, girls’ religious schools, kollels, and chesed or kupah-style welfare groups. The recent grants include recurring support for entities that distribute money to shuls and needy individuals.
Yes. Several recipients appear multiple times in the recent grant list, including Friends of Mosdos Gur, Cong Chasdei Gur Monsey, Ahavat Yisroel Humanity Inc, Kupath Rabbi Meir Baal Haness, and Bais Yaakov D'chassidei Gur.
The grant-size distribution is concentrated around mid-five figures: p25 is $10,525, the median is $39,895, and p75 is $69,188. The recent record also includes a few very large umbrella grants above $200,000.
Giving is overwhelmingly New York-based. Ninety-six percent of grants go to recipients in NY, and the recent recipient cities include Brooklyn, Airmont, Staten Island, Lakewood, Monroe, and Monsey.
