The Barach Family Fund makes a small number of very large, unrestricted gifts focused primarily on Jewish/Israel-related institutions and on a major health research beneficiary. Grants are concentrated and strategic — they favor a handful of prominent organizations rather than many small awards, and they use donor-advised vehicles alongside direct grants. Their giving emphasizes institutional support (general operating/unrestricted) over project-specific funding.
Philip and Daniele Barach Family Foundat’s recent giving is defined by a few very large unrestricted grants to Jewish communal institutions, Israel-related organizations, and a major medical research beneficiary. The largest recent award was $300,000 to Prostate Cancer Foundation for unrestricted general support, followed by $250,000 to Yud Foundation Inc and $120,000 to Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. That pattern shows a funder that backs established institutions rather than distributing many small awards. Several of its grants also go to organizations serving Jewish education, federation work, and Israel advocacy, including American Friends of IDC, Hadassah the Women’s Zionist Org, and Jewish National Fund. The foundation also uses donor-advised vehicles alongside direct grants, including a $100,000 grant to Bank of America Charitable Gift Fund designated as Barach. Across the recent record, the emphasis is on general support rather than tightly restricted project funding, with repeat support for a short list of grantees over multiple years.
One major theme is Jewish communal infrastructure. In 2025, the foundation gave $250,000 to Yud Foundation Inc for unrestricted general support, and it also supported Jewish Federation Council of Gtr La with $100,000 in 2024 and another $50,000 in 2025. Israel-related institutions are another recurring focus: Friends of the Israel Defense Forces received $120,000 in 2024 and $20,000 in 2025, while American Friends of IDC received $60,000 in 2025. The foundation also funds Jewish educational and campus-oriented work, including $35,000 to Jewish Graduate Student Initiative Inc in 2025 and prior grants of $30,000 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2023. Medical research appears as a distinct area through the $300,000 unrestricted grant to Prostate Cancer Foundation.
Typical grant size clusters in the five-figure range, with p25 at $10,000, median at $14,000, and p75 at $20,000. The recent record also includes a smaller set of six-figure awards, showing a concentrated pattern with occasional large anchor gifts. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Jewish Federation Council of Gtr La, Hadassah the Women’s Zionist Org, American Society for Technion, Jewish Graduate Student Initiative Inc, and Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. The foundation is a regular funder and also uses donor-advised grantmaking through Bank of America Charitable Gift Fund. Grants are generally unrestricted or general support.

Concentrated giving: very few, large unrestricted grants to well-established organizations. Mix of philanthropic strategies (direct institutional grants and donor-advised fund contributions). Repeat or ongoing support is implied by size and unrestricted nature rather than many small or one-off gifts.
Notable grantees: Prostate Cancer Foundation, YUD Foundation Inc, Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, Jewish Federation Council of Greater Los Angeles, Bank of America Charitable Gift Fund — Barach
