About Talented Ur
Talented UR Inc. concentrates its giving on Orthodox Jewish educational and religious institutions in Brooklyn, funding yeshivas and congregations to support specialized "talent classes" (likely after‑school or extra‑curricular arts/skills programs). The foundation makes relatively few but sizable awards to a small set of repeat grantees, supplemented by modest grants to other local yeshivas and synagogue programs. Its pattern suggests a focus on strengthening religious schooling and enrichment within the local Jewish community.

Giving Approach
Highly concentrated: a few large, repeat grants account for the majority of dollars (two schools receive most funding), with several much smaller supplemental awards to other local yeshivas and a congregation.
About Talented Ur
Talented Ur Inc. centers its giving on one recurring purpose: providing talent classes at Orthodox Jewish schools and congregations. The largest recent award on file went to Yeshiva Derech Chaim, which received $147,000 in 2024 and $91,432 in 2025 for that same purpose, showing a repeated commitment to the same institution across years. Other sizable awards followed a similar pattern, including $53,800 to Yeshiva Ohr Shmuel in Lakewood and $37,000 to that same school in the prior year. The foundation’s grants are directed to educational and religious institutions rather than individuals, with support flowing to yeshivas, a congregation, and a small number of local community organizations. The pattern points to a funder that uses grants to underwrite specialized enrichment within Orthodox Jewish education, especially in Brooklyn and nearby communities. Leadership is listed as Sholom Sadykov, and the organization’s reported annual grants total $360,957.
What Talented Ur Funds
A defining theme in Talented Ur Inc.’s grantmaking is supplemental instruction inside Orthodox Jewish schools. Yeshiva Derech Chaim in Brooklyn received $147,000 in 2024 and $91,432 in 2025, both marked to provide talent classes. Yeshiva Ohr Shmuel in Lakewood was also funded twice for the same purpose, with grants of $37,000 in 2024 and $53,800 in 2025. The foundation extends that support beyond one school system: Yeshiva Sholom Shachna in Brooklyn received $10,080 for talent classes, and Lev Bais Yaakov received $5,525 for the same kind of program. A further grant of $9,032 went to Congregation Ahavas Torah in Englewood, also for talent classes. Across these awards, the common thread is program support tied to enrichment, skills instruction, or similar class-based offerings.
How Talented Ur Gives
Talented Ur Inc. gives at a relatively wide range of grant sizes, with a p25 of $8,546, a median grant of $23,016, and a p75 of $64,500. The recent record shows repeated support to the same recipients across consecutive years, including Yeshiva Derech Chaim and Yeshiva Ohr Shmuel. Grants are directed to institutions rather than individuals, and the pattern suggests direct program support for class-based activities. The foundation appears to operate as a small, tightly focused grantmaker with a limited set of recurring recipients.
