The Serure Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish communal life, providing unrestricted/general support to faith- and education-based Jewish institutions. Their grants fund synagogue operations and Jewish day school programming, suggesting a priority on sustaining local religious education and congregational infrastructure.
Highly concentrated and selective: very few grants (two recorded) that are modest-to-mid sized and directed as general purpose support to Jewish institutions rather than project-specific funding; appears focused on sustaining core organizations rather than broad geographic diversification.
A $25,800 grant to Hillel Yeshiva in Ocean, New Jersey, stands out in the Ted & Renee Serure Family Foundation’s recent giving and shows the scale at the high end of its portfolio. The foundation’s support is centered on Jewish communal life, with a clear emphasis on general-purpose funding for synagogues, yeshivas, and related institutions. Recent awards also include $14,103 to Edmond J Safra Syn of Deal and $5,000 to Beit Ruth, indicating that the foundation backs both congregational infrastructure and Jewish-serving social or educational organizations. Many of the grants are unrestricted or labeled general purpose, which suggests a flexible approach rather than tightly restricted project support. Its recent grant history includes institutions in New Jersey, New York, and Florida, and the recipient list also reaches beyond the immediate synagogue-and-school pattern to organizations connected to communal welfare and Jewish life. Across the available data, the foundation appears to prioritize sustaining established institutions through modest-to-mid-sized grants, with occasional larger awards to core beneficiaries in its orbit.
Jewish education is a major theme in the foundation’s giving. In 2024, it granted $25,800 to Hillel Yeshiva in Ocean, New Jersey, and in 2024 and 2025 it also supported Ilan High School in Deal, New Jersey, with $2,001 and $1,250 for general purpose use. Synagogue support is another clear thread: the foundation gave $14,103 to Edmond J Safra Syn of Deal for general purpose support, and it also funded Congregation Derech Dovid in Brooklyn with $1,800 in 2024 and $1,800 in 2025. Beyond schools and congregations, the portfolio includes communal and welfare-oriented groups such as $5,000 to Beit Ruth in New York and $1,000 to Chai Lifeline in New York. These grants show a pattern of backing institutions that serve Jewish communal, educational, and support functions.
The foundation’s grant sizes cluster around small awards, with a p25 of $500, a median of $1,000, and a p75 of $1,800. The recent record shows repeat support to the same recipients across years, including Ahavat Haim Vachesed, Ilan High School, Congregation Derech Dovid, and Hky Kol Yaakob. Most awards are listed as general purpose or general operating support, pointing to flexible funding rather than tightly designated projects. The foundation is a family foundation, and the data show no program-related investments and no grants to individuals.
