NTD Charitable Foundation directs a small number of relatively large gifts toward Jewish communal and religious causes, with a strong tilt toward Hasidic/Orthodox community institutions. They also use donor-advised or intermediary vehicles for part of their giving, suggesting both direct community support and flexible philanthropic conduits. The foundation’s giving is concentrated and targeted rather than broad-based or diversified.
Concentrated giving: few, sizable grants with repeat support to a primary beneficiary (Merkaz Chasidei Viznitz) and occasional use of donor-advised/intermediary organizations; primarily one-off or episodic large gifts rather than many small awards.
Ntd Charitable Foundation’s recent giving is centered on a small set of Jewish communal institutions, with Merkaz Chasidei Viznitz receiving the largest listed grant at $67,000 in 2024 and another $13,000 in 2025. The pattern points to sustained support for Hasidic and Orthodox community organizations rather than a broad portfolio of unrelated causes. Their awards also include other Viznitz-linked institutions, along with synagogue and yeshiva-related groups in Brooklyn, New York, and Lakewood, New Jersey. The foundation’s grants are described as general contributions, which suggests support for organizational needs rather than project-specific financing. That approach appears alongside a compact annual grant budget of $207,400 and a total asset base of $51,422, indicating that its giving is sizable relative to its balance sheet. The recent record shows repeated support for the same community networks across multiple years, including Merkaz Chasidei Viznitz and several other Orthodox Jewish institutions.
One clear theme is support for Viznitz institutions. In 2024, Ntd Charitable Foundation gave $67,000 to Merkaz Chasidei Viznitz in Brooklyn, followed by $33,000 in 2023 and $13,000 in 2025 to the same recipient. It also gave $13,000 in 2024 to Mosdos Viznitz, another Brooklyn-based institution in the same community orbit. A second theme is support for Orthodox Jewish religious life in Brooklyn and beyond. The foundation gave $10,000 in 2023 to Notzer Chesed in Brooklyn and $5,000 in 2023 to American Friends Yeshiva Kerem Beya, also in Brooklyn. It also funded congregational and communal organizations outside Brooklyn. In 2024, Kehillat Zion of Kowloon in New York received $5,400, and in 2025 Congregation Toldos Yaakov Yosef in Lakewood received $5,000.
Typical gifts are relatively large for the foundation’s scale: the 25th percentile is $7,700, the median is $13,000, and the 75th percentile is $41,500. That puts many awards in a narrow band, with a few larger contributions above it. The recent record also shows repeat giving to the same recipient across 2023, 2024, and 2025, especially for Merkaz Chasidei Viznitz, which indicates ongoing support rather than one-time awards. Grants are listed as general contributions, and the foundation is marked as not funding individuals and not making program-related investments.
