Mattan Basseter Inc is a Brooklyn-based funder that concentrates almost exclusively on Orthodox Jewish educational and congregational institutions, particularly yeshivot, girls’ Jewish day schools, and local synagogues. The foundation repeatedly funds the same small-to-mid sized institutions (many receiving two grants), supporting operating/program needs and capital or general support rather than secular causes. Grants are highly local and community-focused, emphasizing traditional religious education across elementary through post-high-school yeshiva programs.
A recurring pattern in Mattan Basseter Inc’s recent grants is support for Brooklyn Orthodox Jewish education and congregational life, with repeated awards to the same yeshivot, girls’ schools, and synagogues. The foundation gave $97,150 to Yeshivat Darche Eres Inc in 2025 and $95,800 to Ateret Torah Center in 2023, showing a willingness to make substantial awards to local institutions that serve religious study and community worship. Other large grants in the list include support for Magen David Yeshiva, Yeshivat Shaare Torah Inc, and Bet Yaakov Orot Sarah Inc, which places boys’ and girls’ Jewish education at the center of the funder’s activity. The grant record also points to a pattern of repeated support for the same organizations over multiple years. Yeshivat Darche Eres Inc, Magen David Yeshiva, Ateret Torah Center, and Yeshivat Shaare Torah Inc each appear more than once in the recent grants list, suggesting an ongoing relationship rather than one-time funding. The foundation also funds congregational institutions such as Ahi Ezer Congregation and Congregation Shaare Zion, alongside schools serving different age groups from elementary through post-high-school yeshiva programs.
Jewish religious education is the clearest theme in the portfolio. Mattan Basseter Inc gave $47,200 to Yeshivat Lev Torah in 2025 and $43,050 to the same institution in 2023, alongside $44,500 to Yeshivat Ohr Hatorah in 2023 and $41,000 in 2025. Those grants show sustained support for Torah study institutions. Girls’ Jewish education is another visible area. The foundation gave $66,470 to Bet Yaakov Orot Sarah Inc in 2023 and $25,900 in 2025, and it supported Bnos Rochel with $45,000 in 2023 and $26,650 in 2025. It also gave $23,970 to Shulamith School for Girls of Brook in 2023. Congregational support appears as well. Ahi Ezer Congregation received $60,100 in 2023 and $44,050 in 2025, while Congregation Shaare Zion received $35,301 in 2025. These grants place neighborhood religious institutions alongside schools in the foundation’s giving pattern.
Typical awards are modest-to-mid sized: the 25th percentile is $8,662, the median is $23,710, and the 75th percentile is $45,550. The recent list also includes larger individual awards, such as $175,000 to Beer Miriam Charitable Foundation in 2023, but most grants cluster much lower than that. The foundation shows clear recurrence. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Yeshivat Darche Eres Inc, Magen David Yeshiva, Ateret Torah Center, Yeshivat Shaare Torah Inc, Ahi Ezer Congregation, and Yeshivat Lev Torah. That pattern points to ongoing relationships with a relatively small set of local institutions. Mattan Basseter Inc does not fund individuals and makes no program-related investments.
