About Maccabee Task Force Foundation
The Maccabee Task Force Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish communal life and youth engagement, demonstrated by a single large grant to support campus Jewish education and organized trips to Israel. Their funding appears mission-driven toward strengthening Jewish identity and Israel connections among students, working through a major Jewish federation as an intermediary. The foundation gives in a focused, programmatic way rather than broadly across causes or regions.

About Maccabee Task Force Foundation
Maccabee Task Force Foundation’s recent giving is built around campus Jewish education and organized trips to Israel, with its largest listed grant going to the Jewish Federation of Metro Chicago for “Campus Education and Trip to Israel.” That pattern continues across multiple college Hillels and campus Jewish organizations, showing a clear preference for student-facing programming rather than broad institutional support. The foundation also uses intermediaries in some cases, including Chabad on Campus International and Jewish federation partners, to channel support into campus work. Recent awards show that the foundation’s campus emphasis reaches different kinds of institutions: Hillel of San Diego received multiple grants for the same general purpose, while Hillel at George Mason University and Oregon Hillel were also funded for campus education and Israel trips. The grant list points to a mission centered on Jewish identity, student engagement, and structured Israel experiences for college students and student leaders. Grants are typically project-specific, with language that ties funding to campus education, trips to Israel, or both.
What Maccabee Task Force Foundation Funds
On campus Jewish education, the foundation backed Chabad on Campus International in Brooklyn for “Campus Education,” and it supported Boston University Hillel for the same general purpose. Those awards fit a broader pattern of student-centered Jewish programming delivered through campus-based organizations and intermediaries. Israel-travel support is another recurring theme. Hillel of San Diego in San Diego received grants labeled “Campus Education and Trip to Israel,” and Hillel at Kent State in Kent, Ohio, was funded for the same purpose. The foundation also supported Hillel Ontario in Toronto and Hillel of New Orleans with campus education and Israel-trip programming, showing that the Israel component is embedded in its student engagement work. The grant list also includes the Jewish Campus Activities Board in Philadelphia for “Campus Education and Trip to Israel,” reinforcing the foundation’s focus on organized student programming rather than general operating support.
How Maccabee Task Force Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is $21,720 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $120,480 at the 75th percentile. The recent list includes repeated support for the same recipients across multiple years, such as Hillel of San Diego, Northeastern University Hillel, Oregon Hillel, and Hillel Foundation of New Orleans, indicating an ongoing relationship pattern rather than isolated one-time awards. The foundation funds individuals is false, and it does not make program-related investments. The grant language is project-specific, usually tied to campus education or trips to Israel.
