About Jack Adjmi Family Foundation

Jack Adjmi Family Foundation Inc. gives almost entirely to Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions, with recent large grants flowing to yeshivas, kollels, synagogues, and community-based charities that support Torah learning and communal religious life. Its grant list shows repeated support for the same core organizations, pointing to a funding pattern built around sustaining established institutions rather than dispersing funds widely across many fields. In 2023, the largest recent grant went to Ateret Torah Center in Brooklyn for general charitable, religious, and educational purposes. Other large awards in the same year went to Torat Chaim Inc and Yad Yosef, both also in Brooklyn, reinforcing the foundation’s concentration on Sephardic and Orthodox Jewish institutions. The foundation also supported organizations in New Jersey, including Synagogue of Deal and Yeshivat or Hachaim of Lakewood, showing that its giving reaches beyond New York while remaining tightly centered on the same religious ecosystem. Across the recent grants, the purpose language is highly consistent: general charitable, religious, and educational purposes. That consistency, along with repeated awards to the same grantees over multiple years, suggests a straightforward grantmaking approach aimed at core operating support for faith-based education and community services.

What Jack Adjmi Family Foundation Funds

Education is a central theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $154,884 in 2023 to Magen David Yeshiva in Brooklyn and $101,800 in 2023 to Yeshivat Lev Torah in Brooklyn, both for general charitable, religious, and educational purposes. A later award of $76,200 to Magen David Yeshiva in 2025 shows continued support for the same school. The foundation also funds communal religious infrastructure. It granted $122,800 in 2024 to Sephardic Community Center in Brooklyn and $81,000 in 2023 to The Sephardic Heritage Museum in New York, linking religious identity with community programming and cultural preservation. Support for services connected to Orthodox communal life appears in grants such as $66,667 in 2023 to Sephardic Mikvah Israel Inc in Brooklyn and $81,000 in 2023 to The Special Children’s Center in Lakewood. These awards sit alongside contributions to yeshivas and synagogues, showing a mix of educational, religious, and community-serving priorities.
