READY SET GROW INC is a faith-driven funder that overwhelmingly supports Orthodox Jewish religious life and education, primarily through grants to yeshivas, synagogues, girls' schools, and community welfare societies. Its giving spans local U.S. Orthodox communities (notably Lakewood, Brick and the Miami area) and includes support to affiliated institutions in Israel, often providing program or operating support to long-established congregations and schools.
Concentrated, faith-specific giving: many small-to-mid sized grants with several repeat recipients. Majority of funds go to religious institutions (80% NTEE X), distributed across multiple communities but showing recurring support to core Orthodox educational and congregational grantees rather than broad, secular philanthropy.
A $30,000 general-support grant to American Friends of Agudah Beit Avraham Inc in Brooklyn is the largest recent award on file for Ready Set Grow Inc, and it fits a clear pattern: the foundation directs mostly unrestricted support to Orthodox Jewish yeshivas, synagogues, and community welfare groups. Its recent grants also include $21,000 to Kupas Hachesed Foundation Inc in Spring Valley and $17,540 to Yeshiva Chemdas Hatorah in Lakewood, showing steady backing for institutions that serve religious, educational, and mutual-aid functions within Orthodox communities. The grant list points to a funder that favors operating support over project-specific awards. Recipients include advanced Talmudic study institutions, congregational bodies, girls’ schools, and charitable organizations, with repeated support for some organizations across more than one year. The foundation’s giving reaches both established U.S. Orthodox centers and affiliated institutions in Israel, while also extending to Miami-area schools and congregations. Across the recent record, the pattern is consistent: smaller general grants are used to support ongoing institutional needs rather than one-time initiatives.
Orthodox Jewish education is a major theme in the grant record. Ready Set Grow Inc gave $17,540 to Yeshiva Chemdas Hatorah in Lakewood for general support, and it also awarded $11,000 to the same yeshiva in 2023, indicating continued backing for advanced study institutions. Girls’ and elementary Jewish education also appears in the portfolio. The foundation gave $8,550 to Bnos Melech of Lakewood Inc for general support in 2023 and $7,500 to Bnos Basya Inc for general support the same year, with another $6,330 to Bnos Basya Inc in 2024. Congregational support is another visible line of giving. It funded Congregation Siyata Dishmaya twice, including $16,545 in 2023 and $5,870 in 2024, both for general support. Community mutual-aid work is present as well, through a $21,000 grant to Kupas Hachesed Foundation Inc for general support.
Typical grants cluster in a fairly tight range: the 25th percentile is $7,352, the median is $8,800, and the 75th percentile is $11,694. The recent record shows a mix of repeat and one-time recipients, including multiple-year support for Yeshiva Chemdas Hatorah, Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem, Congregation Siyata Dishmaya, and Bnos Basya Inc. Ready Set Grow Inc does not fund individuals and is not making program-related investments. The grants shown are overwhelmingly general support, which suggests flexible institutional funding rather than restricted project grants.
