The Schonkopf Family Foundation concentrates its giving into a very small set of large, mostly unrestricted gifts. Most dollars are directed through an aggregated 'Various Charities' vehicle, while a substantial portion repeatedly supports Gateways Organization Inc., indicating an interest in community-focused service organizations (likely local or Jewish-serving). Overall the foundation appears to make few, high-dollar grants rather than many small awards.
Concentrated: very few but large grants, repeat support to the same recipients (3 grants to an aggregated 'Various Charities' account and 2 grants to Gateways). Funding appears to be primarily unrestricted/charitable rather than project-specific.
The Schonkopf Family Foundation’s recent giving is marked by concentrated, high-dollar support for a small set of repeat recipients, especially Gateways Organization Inc and a pooled "Various Charities" vehicle. That pattern points to a funder that uses a limited number of awards to move meaningful sums, rather than spreading smaller grants across many organizations. Among the clearest examples is a 2024 gift of $156,000 to Gateways Organization Inc in Monsey, followed by another $101,335 in 2025, showing sustained support for the same organization over multiple years. The foundation’s portfolio also includes several educational and community-serving institutions in New York, New Jersey, and Israel, with individual grants commonly landing in the tens of thousands of dollars. Recent awards include $77,000 to Kollel Kinyan Torah in Jackson and $65,020 to Kollel Cheshek Shlomo in Lakewood, alongside multiple grants to Shas Yiden, Netivos Olam, and Oz Vehadar. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor charitable distributions that can be renewed, revisited, and scaled within an established network of grantees.
A large share of the foundation’s recent grantmaking supports Jewish-serving educational and community institutions. In 2024, it gave $77,000 to Kollel Kinyan Torah in Jackson for charitable purposes, and it repeated that support with a $30,000 grant in 2025. It also backed Kollel Cheshek Shlomo in Lakewood with $65,020 in 2024 and $40,000 in 2025. The foundation has also funded organizations tied to Torah learning and religious education. It gave $30,000 to Yeshivas Brisk in Lakewood in 2023 and another $20,000 in 2024, while Oz Vehadar in Beit Shemesh received $30,000 in 2023, $30,000 in 2024, and $20,000 in 2025. Community and Israel-related charities appear as well. The foundation awarded $45,000 and $26,200 to Pef Israel Endowment Funds in 2023 and 2024, and $30,250 to All4Israel in New Milford in 2025.
Typical grants cluster in a fairly tight range: p25 is $19,225, median grant size is $30,000, and p75 is $50,000. The recent record shows repeated support to the same organizations across years, including Gateways Organization Inc, Kollel Kinyan Torah, Kollel Cheshek Shlomo, Shas Yiden, Netivos Olam, Oz Vehadar, and Yeshivas Brisk. That repetition suggests renewal funding rather than one-time awards. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its recent grants are structured as charitable gifts, often at levels consistent with general operating or broad program support.
