The Marvin Azrak and Sons Foundation concentrates its giving on Sephardic Jewish religious, educational, and social-service institutions—primarily in the New York area. Major grants go to yeshivas, congregations, Sephardic community youth programs, food assistance, and health/visiting-the-sick services, with several organizations receiving repeat support. The foundation also uses intermediary vehicles (e.g., Jewish Communal Fund) to make donor-directed gifts.
Concentrated giving with a small number of mid-to-large grants focused on a consistent portfolio of Sephardic religious and community organizations; several repeat grantees and occasional use of donor-advised/intermediary funds.
Marvin Azrak and Sons Foundation Inc. gives most often to Sephardic Jewish institutions, with a pattern that includes yeshivas, congregations, youth centers, food assistance, and community health support. The largest recent grant in the data is $160,000 to Maden David Yeshiva in Brooklyn for its exempt purposes, a clear sign that religious education sits near the center of the foundation’s giving. Another large recurring recipient is Darchei David Foundation, which received $78,000 in both 2023 and 2024, also for exempt purposes. Several of the foundation’s grants are routed to organizations serving Brooklyn’s Sephardic community, while other gifts support related institutions in New York City, Deal, New Jersey, and Hong Kong. The foundation also uses intermediary vehicles such as Jewish Communal Fund for exempt-purpose giving. Across the recent record, the grants are generally unrestricted or broad-purpose awards within the recipient organization’s exempt mission, rather than project-specific awards with detailed program descriptions.
Education is a major theme in the foundation’s giving. Maden David Yeshiva received $160,000 in 2025, and Yad Yosef Torah Center received $36,000 in 2023 for its exempt purposes. Congregational support is another visible area: Congregation Beth Torah in Brooklyn received $30,000 in 2023, while Ohel Yaacob Congregation in Deal, New Jersey received $14,511 in 2023. The foundation also backs Sephardic food assistance. Sephardic Food Fund received $47,037 in 2023 and $31,767 in 2024, both for exempt purposes. Health and visiting-the-sick services appear as well through Sephardic Bikur Holim, which received $31,601 in 2023.
Typical grants are modest, with a p25 of $2,050, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $12,400. The recent record also shows a few much larger awards, including six-figure support at the top end. Repeat grants are common: Darchei David Foundation, Sephardic Food Fund, Sephardic Community Youth Center, Ateret Moshe, Keter Torah, and The Special Children's Center all appear in multiple years. The foundation is a private foundation rather than a donor-advised fund, and it does not make program-related investments. Most awards are described as being for the recipient’s exempt purposes.
