The Murray & Sydell Rosenberg Foundation concentrates almost exclusively on large-scale humanitarian support for Jewish and Israeli relief organizations. Its grants are overwhelmingly directed to a small set of charities that provide direct assistance and welfare services to Israeli and Jewish communities, often via repeated, multi-million-dollar gifts. The foundation favors organizations with religious/communal missions (chesed/welfare) and those that operate or channel aid to Israel.
Very concentrated giving: a small number of very large grants, often repeated to the same organizations, rather than many small or one-off awards.
Among the Murray & Sydell Rosenberg Foundationinc’s recent grants, the clearest pattern is repeated, large-scale humanitarian support for a small set of Jewish and Israeli relief organizations. The foundation has made substantial gifts across 2023, 2024, and 2025 to groups that distribute direct assistance, welfare services, and emergency relief, often returning to the same recipients with additional awards. Afo Zavat Chalav Inc received three major grants, including $17,342,550 in 2023, $11,221,068 in 2024, and $9,922,083 in 2025, all labeled humanitarian assistance. Central Fund of Israel also appears repeatedly, with grants of $6,059,302 in 2023 and $4,062,938 in 2024, again for humanitarian assistance. Other recurring recipients include Rodef Shalom Vachesed, Meged Shomayim, and Afo B Nai Levy, which indicates a funding model built around sustained support rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s public record points to chesed-style communal welfare and aid channeled through organizations serving Israeli and Jewish communities.
Humanitarian assistance is the foundation’s clear organizing theme. In 2025, it gave $5,387,615 to Central Fund of Israel in New York for humanitarian assistance, and it supported Rodef Shalom Vachesed in Jerusalem with $4,283,000 that same year for the same purpose. It also backed Afo B Nai Levy in Boisbriand with $4,370,000 in 2025, after earlier grants of $6,700,000 in 2023 and $3,200,000 in 2024. The grant list also shows support for organizations serving communal welfare needs in the United States, including Yeshiva University in New York, which received $1,000,000 in 2025. Across the record, the stated purposes remain tightly focused on direct relief and humanitarian support rather than a broad mix of program areas.
Typical grants sit at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, a median of $33,332, and $118,018 at the 75th percentile, while the recent record also includes multi-million-dollar awards. The foundation repeatedly backs the same organizations across multiple years, with several grantees appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. It funds individuals and uses grantmaking, not program-related investments. The patterns suggest a family or private foundation style of discretionary support, with no application process indicated in the provided data.
