The Number Ten Foundation directs nearly all of its funding to Jewish communal life in Baltimore, concentrating on institutional support for congregational and federation work. Its grants are large, purpose-driven awards to a very small set of repeat recipients, suggesting a focus on sustaining core community institutions rather than broad-based philanthropy. The foundation appears to prioritize local synagogue operations and the umbrella federation that coordinates Jewish services and philanthropy in the city.
Highly concentrated: few, large grants primarily to two repeat grantees in Baltimore. Funding is focused and local, emphasizing sustained institutional support rather than one-off or geographically diverse grants.
Number Ten Foundation Inc centers much of its giving on Baltimore’s Jewish communal infrastructure, with repeat support for Baltimore Hebrew Congregation and the Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore. The recent record shows a funder backing a small circle of institutions year after year, rather than spreading funds widely across many organizations. Its larger awards are tied to exempt-purpose support for core community bodies, including a $118,300 grant to the federation in 2024 and a $109,050 grant to Baltimore Hebrew Congregation in 2023. The pattern points to sustained institutional support for synagogue operations, federation services, and related communal needs. Beyond those anchor grants, the foundation’s portfolio includes recurring support for local health, hunger, utility-assistance, and cultural organizations in Baltimore. Sinai Hospital, Maryland Food Bank, United Way of Central Maryland, Fuel Fund of Maryland, and Baltimore Symphony Orchestra all appear multiple times in the recent grants list, suggesting a steady grantmaking rhythm built around established local partners. One non-U.S. recipient also appears in the recent grants, showing that the foundation’s giving can extend beyond Maryland even as it remains heavily rooted in Baltimore.
A defining part of Number Ten Foundation Inc’s work is support for Jewish communal life in Baltimore. In 2025, it gave $62,580 to Baltimore Hebrew Congregation and $51,000 to the Associated Jewish Com Federation, both listed as furthering exempt purpose. The foundation also supports broader civic and human services in the city. It gave $10,000 to Sinai Hospital in 2025 and repeated the same amount in 2024 and 2023, while Maryland Food Bank received $10,000 in each of those three years. Utility and emergency-assistance organizations are another thread. Fuel Fund of Maryland received $6,000 in 2025, 2024, and 2023, and United Way of Central Maryland received $6,000 in 2025, 2024, and 2023. Cultural support appears as well, with Baltimore Symphony Orchestra receiving $3,000 in each of those same years.
The typical grant size is small: p25 is $50, the median is $50, and p75 is $100. That distribution sits alongside a separate set of much larger institutional awards, showing a two-tier pattern in the recent grants data. Many recipients recur across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including several Baltimore organizations, which points to repeat support rather than one-time giving. The foundation is a private foundation, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. The grants listed use a simple exempt-purpose framing, with no application process described in the data.
