The Isaac & Marjorie Gindi Foundation concentrates its giving on a single Orthodox Jewish educational institution, indicating a focused, community-oriented philanthropy tied to Jewish religious education. All recorded grants went to Bnei Yitzhak, suggesting the foundation prioritizes sustaining one core local organization rather than distributing support broadly.
Highly concentrated: all giving went to one repeated grantee (Bnei Yitzhak) across two grants, indicating repeat, targeted support rather than diversified or small-scale giving across many organizations.
A single Brooklyn yeshiva anchors the Isaac & Marjorie Gindi Foundation Inc’s giving: Bnei Yitzhak received the foundation’s largest recent grants in both 2025 and 2024, alongside a 2023 grant under the same name. That concentration points to a funder built around sustained support for Orthodox Jewish religious education rather than broad, diversified grantmaking. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also supports congregations, synagogues, food assistance, mikveh-related work, and Jewish social-service organizations, mostly in the New York area. The pattern is consistent with unrestricted or general operating support. Many awards are labeled “general support” or “general purpose,” including grants to Ohel Yaacab Congregation in Deal, New Jersey, Hahaim Yeshivat Shalom Inc in New York, and American Friends of Migdal Ohr in New York. Other named recipients include Reach for the Stars, Simha Organization, Sephardic Community Center, Sephardic Food Fund, and Friends of United Hatzalah. The foundation’s giving is regional in scope, but the recipient list shows a clear emphasis on institutions serving Sephardic and Orthodox Jewish communities.
Orthodox Jewish education is the clearest through line in the foundation’s recent grants. In that area, it gave $105,501 to Bnei Yitzhak in Brooklyn for general support in 2025, and also supported Hahaim Yeshivat Shalom Inc in New York with $50,000 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2025. Religious institutions are another recurring focus. The foundation gave $56,086 to Ohel Yaacab Congregation in Deal for general purpose in 2023, followed by $53,907 in 2024 and $29,100 in 2025. It also supported The Edmond J Safra Synagogue in Brooklyn with $42,501 in 2025 and Edmond J Safra Synagogue in New York with $31,581 in 2024. Community support appears in grants such as $35,500 to Sephardic Bikur Holim and $32,600 to Sephardic Food Fund in New York, both in 2024. Related awards went to Sephardic Community Center in Brooklyn and Carmei Ha'ir International in Brooklyn.
Grant sizes are small to mid-sized, with a p25 of $705, a median of $1,800, and a p75 of $5,000. The recent list also shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Bnei Yitzhak, Ohel Yaacab Congregation, Hahaim Yeshivat Shalom Inc, and Friends of United Hatzalah. The foundation does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals. Its grant labels are predominantly general support or general purpose, indicating flexible funding rather than restricted project grants.
