The Mayberg Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on Jewish religious and communal life, funding organizations that advance Jewish outreach, leadership development, and support for Chabad emissaries. Grants are overwhelmingly unrestricted or labeled “support programming,” indicating trust-based funding to operational activities rather than project-specific philanthropy. The foundation tends to fund established national or transnational Jewish organizations and uses intermediaries (a community foundation) as part of its giving. Overall, its philanthropy is mission-focused on strengthening Jewish continuity and institutional capacity.
Highly concentrated: very few, very large grants; repeat funding to the same organizations; predominantly unrestricted program support to national/transnational Jewish institutions rather than many small community grants.
