The Klurman Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish educational institutions and related religious-education causes, predominantly supporting a small set of organizations with significant gifts. Grants are large and targeted—often repeated to the same recipients—suggesting sustained commitments to particular Jewish day schools and yeshivot, with at least one sizeable unrestricted/charitable gift to an unnamed 501(c)(3).
Concentrated, high-dollar giving to a very small number of repeat grantees (multiple large grants per recipient); few total grants but substantial amounts per grant indicating multi-year or core support.
Notable grantees: Lehrman Community Day School, American Friends Yeshivat Mishkan Trisk, 501(c)(3) ORG AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
A 2025 charitable grant of $512,271 to a 501(c)(3) organization available upon request in Hollywood, FL stands out in the Samuel Aba and Sisel Klurman Foundation Inc’s recent giving. That gift sits alongside a pattern of repeated support for Jewish educational institutions and affiliated religious-education organizations, with large awards returned to the same recipients over multiple years. Lehrman Community Day School in Miami Beach received $200,000 in 2024 and another $200,000 in 2023, while American Friends Yeshivat Mishkan Trisk in Lakewood, NJ received $200,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024. Those grants show a foundation willing to make substantial, targeted commitments rather than spreading funds broadly across many sectors. The recent record also includes support for Orthodox yeshiva education, day school advancement, and other Jewish nonprofits tied to education and community life. Smaller gifts appear as complements to those larger awards, but the overall profile is built around concentrated institutional support. In several cases, the same organizations appear again in later years, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time funding.
Educational advancement is the clearest thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. Lehrman Community Day School in Miami Beach received $200,000 in 2024 and $200,000 in 2023, and Yeshiva Toras Chaimtoras Emes Academy in North Miami Beach received $50,000 in 2024. Orthodox Jewish learning institutions also appear outside Florida: American Friends Yeshivat Mishkan Trisk in Lakewood, NJ was awarded $200,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024. The foundation also supported Friends of Asor in Alexandria, VA with $10,000 for educational advancement. Beyond schools, the record includes social welfare grants to Greater Miami Jewish Federation in Miami, FL and Greater Miami Federation Jewish Emergency Fund in Miami, FL, reflecting support for local Jewish communal services. Medical and welfare-related gifts also appear, including Iron Swords Emergency Medical Equipment in Teaneck, FL and American Committee for Shaare Zedek in Deerfield Beach, FL.
Typical grant size is $1,000 at the 25th percentile, $3,150 at the median, and $10,000 at the 75th percentile, though the recent record also includes much larger targeted awards. The pattern is repeat giving: several organizations receive support in more than one year, including Lehrman Community Day School, American Friends Yeshivat Mishkan Trisk, Friends of Israel Defense Forces, Wizo - Yonit, The Family Shul, American Friends of Bar Ilan University, Brauser Maimonides Academy, Kesher Ld Inc, and Rabbinical Seminary of America. The foundation makes grants only to organizations, not individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. Its recent awards are mostly direct grants for educational advancement, social welfare, or medical advancement and welfare.
