HLMH Inc. is a mission-driven Jewish philanthropic fund that prioritizes religious and Zionist education, with sizable grants to youth movements, day camps and summer educational programs, and Holocaust education initiatives. Its giving also includes support for congregational leadership and some poverty-relief work tied to Israel. The foundation favors institutional operating and program support for established Jewish organizations rather than many small pilot projects.
Hlmh Inc. centers its giving on religious and Zionist Jewish education, and its largest recent awards show that emphasis clearly: $400,000 to International March of the Living for Holocaust educational programming and $350,000 to the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America for religious leadership and educational programming. The foundation also backs a broader ecosystem of Jewish learning through summer programs, day schools, and youth movements. Recent grants include $271,585 to The Religious Zionist Youth Movement - Bnei Akiva of the United States And for educational summertime programming, $260,000 to Ramah in the Rockies for summertime educational programming, and $240,000 to Hamercaz Lechinuch Yehudi Tzioni (ofakim) for religious educational programming. Its portfolio extends beyond classroom-style instruction into camp-based education, leadership development, and Holocaust remembrance, with additional support for institutions such as Yeshiva University, Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies, and Prizmah Center for Jewish Day Schools. The pattern suggests a funder that works through established Jewish organizations and multi-year relationships rather than one-off experiments.
Holocaust education is a visible part of the portfolio. Hlmh Inc. gave $400,000 to International March of the Living for Holocaust educational programming and $270,400 to Names Not Numbers Inc for the same broad purpose. Religious and Jewish educational programming is another core area: the foundation awarded $120,000 to Yeshiva University and $93,920 to Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies. In summer learning, it supported both general and specialized settings, including $215,317 to Camps Ramah in California Inc for educational summertime programming and $100,000 to Camp Moshava Wildrose for special needs summertime programming. It also funded congregational and professional formation, including $111,111 to Yeshivat He'atid for educational space, equipment, and faculty and staff development.
Typical grants cluster in a middle-to-upper institutional range: the 25th percentile is $40,728, the median is $83,916, and the 75th percentile is $150,000. The recent list shows repeat support for several organizations across multiple years, including The Religious Zionist Youth Movement - Bnei Akiva of the United States And, National Ramah Commission Inc, and Hamercaz Lechinuch Yehudi Tzioni (ofakim). The foundation is a private philanthropic fund rather than an operating charity, and it does not make program-related investments. Grantmaking appears largely project-specific or operating support to established Jewish institutions, with no application process described in the source data.

Concentrated, large-dollar grants to a small number of recurring institutional grantees focused on Jewish education and Zionist programming; mix of multi-year or repeat funding rather than many one-off small grants.
Notable grantees: Hamercaz Lechinuch Yehudi Tzioni (Ofakim), International March of the Living, Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, The Religious Zionist Youth Movement - Bnei Akiva of the United States, Ramah camps / National Ramah Commission
Grantmaking is concentrated in New York, where 61% of grants go and where many recipients are located, including New York City and nearby Lawrence and Teaneck. Beyond New York, recent grants also reached Denver, Encino, Foster City, Skokie, Northbrook, Chicago, and Duarte. The recipient-country mix is mostly U.S.-based, with smaller shares in Israel and Canada. That distribution points to a regional footprint with the strongest activity in New York and a smaller set of grants to Jewish educational and community organizations elsewhere.
