The Nathan & Anna Cohen Foundation predominantly funds Jewish religious and community institutions in the Miami area and for affiliated overseas causes, with recurring support for Sephardic and Chabad organizations and local Jewish day schools. Their giving also includes direct cash assistance to individuals in need and modest donations to local charities and educational institutions. Grants skew toward a small number of faith-based organizations that receive repeat, sometimes sizable awards, alongside several smaller gifts to schools and poverty-relief efforts.
Nathan & Anna Cohen Foundation Inc’s giving is anchored by a large religious grant program and a clear pattern of support for Jewish institutions in Miami and abroad. The single largest recent award was $105,000 to American Friends of Netivot for support to a religious organization, and the foundation followed that with another $21,200 grant to the same group in 2024. That repeated support sits alongside funding for Chabad and Sephardic organizations in Miami Beach, including Charidy Chabad, Shul of Biscayne Point, Sephar Miami Beach, and Biscayne Point Sephardic. The foundation also makes smaller grants for direct help to individuals in need, as seen in awards to Michael Levy, Jeffrey Torres, Liora Cohen, and Milka Mersel. Its grantmaking reaches both institutions and people, combining religious donations, poverty relief, medical help, and school support. Recent activity shows a mix of substantial one-time awards and recurring grants to the same religious charities over multiple years.
Jewish religious organizations receive much of the foundation’s support. The largest example is $105,000 to American Friends of Netivot for support to a religious organization, followed by $25,000 to Charidy Chabad in Miami Beach for support to a religious organization. Miami-based synagogue and outreach groups also appear often, including $5,100 to Shul of Biscayne Point for a religious donation and $5,000 to Chabad Lubavitch for support to a religious organization. Education is another visible thread. The foundation gave $5,000 to Ransom Everglades School for support to an educational organization and $3,600 to Lehrman Community Day School for a donation to a school. Basic-needs and medical aid also appear in the record through grants such as $12,200 to Jewish educational in Miami Beach for medical help and $3,613 to Torah Box (Tov Li Association) for help to the poor.
Typical grants are small: the 25th percentile is $480, the median is $2,229, and the 75th percentile is $5,000. That distribution shows a portfolio built around modest gifts, with a few much larger awards at the top end. The same organizations appear in multiple years, including American Friends of Netivot, Chevrat Pinto, Shul of Biscayne Point, and Torah Box (Tov Li Association), which points to recurring relationships rather than purely one-off giving. The foundation is a private grantmaker and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. No application process is described in the available data.
