The foundation made a single, very large grant to the Atlanta Jewish Foundation, indicating its primary interest is supporting Jewish communal life in the Atlanta area via a community foundation vehicle. The gift appears to be a one-time, endowment-style or legacy transfer intended to seed ongoing community philanthropy rather than direct program-level grants. This suggests the founders prioritize sustaining local Jewish institutions and enabling flexible grantmaking through a centralized community foundation.
Highly concentrated: a single very large grant to a Jewish community foundation, consistent with legacy/endowment-style giving through an intermediary rather than multiple small or direct program grants.
A single 2025 grant of $15,781,489 to Atlanta Jewish Foundation stands out in the foundation’s recent record and points to a legacy-style approach to Jewish communal giving in Metro Atlanta. The Henry and Etta Raye Hirsch Heritage Foundation Inc has also made sizable support to Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta in both 2024 and 2023, alongside grants to local institutions such as Marcus Jewish Community Center and Jewish Family & Career Services. That pattern suggests a funder that works through community organizations and supports a connected network of Jewish communal, educational, and service providers rather than a narrow one-off project portfolio. Across the recent grants list, the foundation’s largest awards are joined by a long tail of smaller gifts to schools, synagogues, camps, and community groups. Epstein School received grants in consecutive years, and Jewish Community Prof Hs Tuition Grant appears in three separate years, showing repeated support for education-related needs. The foundation also extends funding beyond a single institution type, with grants to religious, healthcare, and community recipients in the Atlanta area and a smaller number of gifts outside Georgia. The overall picture is of a locally focused funder using both large anchor grants and recurring operating-style support to sustain Jewish communal infrastructure.
Jewish education appears as one clear theme. The foundation gave $100,000 to Epstein School in 2023 and again in 2024, and also awarded $30,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 to Jewish Community Prof Hs Tuition Grant. Community services are another recurring area. Jewish Family & Career Services received $50,000 in 2023, $20,000 in 2024, and $25,000 in 2025, while Open Doors Solutions Inc received $25,000 in 2023 and 2024. The grants also reach congregational and youth-serving organizations. Congregation B'nai Torah received $40,336 in 2024, and youth programs such as In the City Camp Inc and Jewish Kids Groups each received $15,000 in 2023 and 2024. A smaller set of gifts extends to broader civic and identity-focused work, including $10,000 to Birthright Israel Foundation in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s annual total: p25 is $1,800, median is $3,135, and p75 is $10,000. That distribution sits alongside a few very large anchor grants, including a 2025 transfer of $15,781,489 to Atlanta Jewish Foundation. The recent record also shows repeat awards to the same recipients across multiple years, especially in education and community services, which points to ongoing support rather than isolated gifts. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The recent pattern also suggests grantmaking through institutions rather than an application-heavy open call structure.

Notable grantees: Atlanta Jewish Foundation

The recent grants list centers on Jewish communal institutions, including community foundations, federations, community centers, schools, congregations, and family-service groups. It also includes a few broader civic and healthcare-oriented recipients in Atlanta, but the strongest pattern is support for Jewish community infrastructure and education.
