The MR Charitable Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on Orthodox Jewish religious institutions and education, predominantly supporting yeshivas and congregations tied to Hasidic communities. A small number of grantees receive large, repeated awards, indicating long-term institutional support rather than one‑off donations. Grants appear focused on charitable operations and program support for those religious and educational bodies, with ties to the local Monroe/Kiryas Joel region and affiliated organizations abroad.
Mr Charitable Foundation’s recent grantmaking is defined by large, repeated awards to a small circle of Orthodox Jewish religious institutions in Monroe, Brooklyn, and nearby communities. The foundation’s biggest listed gift is $130,000 to Yeshivas Maharit Dsatmar in 2023, followed by six-figure support to American Friends of Bnei Levy Found and Cong Avoides Halevy Dradashits Inc. The pattern is not limited to one year: Cong Avoides Halevy Dradashits Inc received $103,480 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while American Friends of Bnei Levy Found was awarded $105,000 in 2023, $95,000 in 2024, and $30,000 in 2025. That repeat behavior points to ongoing institutional backing rather than isolated project gifts. The foundation’s grantees are mostly yeshivas, congregations, and affiliated charitable entities tied to Hasidic and Orthodox Jewish life. Several of the larger awards support institutions in Monroe, including Yeshivas Maharit Dsatmar, Cong Avoides Halevy Dradashits Inc, and Cong Bnei Yoel. Others go to Brooklyn-based affiliated organizations such as American Friends of Bnei Levy Found and Cong Yeshiva Yad Moishe. Smaller awards to congregational charities like Cong Shaarei Chesed and Cong Sharei Ezra Inc reinforce the same institutional focus across the recent record.
A central theme in Mr Charitable Foundation’s giving is yeshiva support. In 2023, it gave $130,000 to Yeshivas Maharit Dsatmar in Monroe, and the same institution received $40,000 in 2024. That places formal Jewish education at the center of the foundation’s recent activity. Religious congregations are another clear area. Cong Avoides Halevy Dradashits Inc received $103,480 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Cong Bnei Yoel was funded at $50,255 in 2023, $9,000 in 2024, and $6,000 in 2025. These repeated awards show sustained support for local synagogue and congregational infrastructure. The foundation also funds affiliated charitable entities with broader Jewish educational connections. American Friends of Bnei Levy Found received $105,000 in 2023, $95,000 in 2024, and $30,000 in 2025, indicating multi-year backing for an organization operating through an American Friends structure.
Mr Charitable Foundation gives at a concentrated, high-dollar level: the typical grant size is $9,000 at the 25th percentile, $18,000 at the median, and $72,628 at the 75th percentile. The recent record also shows several large repeat awards, which suggests ongoing support for a small set of institutions rather than broad one-time dispersals. It is a foundation and does not fund individuals. It also does not make program-related investments. The grant history on file is current through the 2025 990 year.
