Kollel Zichron Avrohom is a faith-centered funder whose giving is overwhelmingly directed to Orthodox Jewish institutions—primarily yeshivas, kollels, synagogues and Chabad centers—supporting religious education, clergy/learner stipends, and congregational operations. Grants are often repeat awards to the same institutions and include both larger institutional gifts and program support for local Jewish communal services and charity. The foundation gives nationally (e.g., Lakewood, Five Towns, Brookline, Flagstaff) but the profile is consistently Orthodox Jewish in mission and beneficiaries.
Kollel Zichron Avrohom Inc’s recent giving is centered on Orthodox Jewish institutions, with repeated support for yeshivas, kollels, synagogues, and Chabad centers. The foundation’s largest recent grants went to Chayim V'Chesed Inc in Brooklyn, including $137,000 in 2023, $106,000 in 2024, and $112,000 in 2025, showing an ongoing relationship rather than a one-time award. Other large gifts also point to the same pattern: Yeshiva Ruach Chaim Inc in Airmont received $111,200 in 2025 and $77,100 in 2024, while Congregation Nachlas Moishe in Brooklyn and Spring Valley received multiple six-figure awards across 2023 to 2025. The grant list also includes support for congregational operations and Jewish communal services, alongside funding for Torah study and religious education. A smaller but consistent number of awards reach Chabad and affiliated organizations, including Chabad of Flagstaff and American Friends of Chochmas HaTorah Inc. Across the file, the funder appears to support institutions that serve Orthodox Jewish communities through education, worship, and charity-related services.
In Jewish communal service work, Kollel Zichron Avrohom Inc gave $137,000 to Chayim V'Chesed Inc for support in 2023, then continued with $106,000 in 2024 and $112,000 in 2025. For religious education, the foundation awarded $111,200 to Yeshiva Ruach Chaim Inc in Airmont in 2025, and $110,000 to Mevakshei Torah in Brooklyn in 2023. Congregational support is also part of the pattern: Congregation Nachlas Moishe received $99,345 in Brooklyn in 2024 and $79,160 in 2025, while the same recipient was funded in Spring Valley in 2023. The grant list further includes Chabad of Flagstaff, showing that support extends beyond the Northeast to Orthodox institutions serving local Jewish communities.
The typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s annual giving: p25 is $6,875, median is $10,340, and p75 is $25,750. The recent grant list also shows a smaller set of much larger institutional awards, including multiple gifts above $50,000. Recipients appear across multiple years, with repeated awards to the same organizations in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation is a grantmaker, not a funder of individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The current file shows a national giving pattern rather than a local one.
