The Jonas Ehrlich Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish religious and social-welfare causes, primarily supporting Orthodox Jewish community institutions in the Greater New York area. Most funding goes to a small number of repeat grantees that deliver family- and child-focused social services and religious community support. Grants are purpose-driven toward sustaining nonprofit social-welfare infrastructure rather than one-off projects.
Concentrated and repeat-focused: a small portfolio of mid-sized grants directed to a few core grantees (multiple grants to the same organizations) rather than many one-time or geographically broad awards.
A defining feature of Jonas Ehrlich Charitable Foundation Inc is its sustained support for Emunah of America, including grants of $80,500 in 2024, $65,500 in 2023, and $35,600 in 2025. That recurring pattern points to a funder that backs the same Jewish social-welfare institution across multiple years rather than spreading support broadly across many one-time awards. The foundation’s recent giving also shows steady support for Ohel Children’s Home & Family Services, with grants of $32,600 in 2025, $27,800 in 2023, and $5,000 in 2024, reinforcing its interest in child- and family-centered services. Its grants are purpose-driven and institutionally focused, with recipient descriptions such as social welfare, religious support, and social welfare/religious support. The portfolio centers on Orthodox Jewish communal organizations and related service providers in Greater New York, including synagogues, family service agencies, and community charities. Alongside larger recurring grants, the foundation also makes smaller awards to organizations such as The Beach Minyan, Great Neck Synagogue, and Project Ezra, suggesting a mix of anchor support and supplemental community funding. The overall pattern is consistent with sustaining local Jewish communal infrastructure and direct-service organizations.
Within social welfare, the foundation has backed Jewish family-service providers and community charities with grants to organizations such as Ohel Children’s Home & Family Services for social welfare work and Project Ezra for social welfare in Englewood, New Jersey. It has also funded Emunah of America for social welfare/religious work in New York, indicating attention to services that combine care with faith-based community support. Religious giving is another clear thread. The foundation supported Great Neck Synagogue for religious purposes and gave to The Beach Minyan for social welfare/religious activity, showing interest in local congregational life as well as broader communal programming. Education appears in its grants to American Friends of Bnot Torah for education in Brooklyn. Community institutions with a public-facing role also appear, including the Zamir Choral Foundation for religious purposes and the Conference of Presidents of American Jewish Organizaion for religious/social welfare activity.
