The Alon and Rosana Miller Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish religious and educational causes, primarily supporting a local Los Angeles religious center that provides Torah and family-focused Jewish learning. It also funds Israel-related education and student support, as shown by a scholarship grant to Stand With Us. The foundation makes few but large grants, favoring repeat support to core Jewish institutions rather than many small grants.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving to a small set of grantees with repeated grants to a primary beneficiary; limited geographic focus on local Jewish institutions.
The Alon and Rosana Miller Foundation gives at a high level to Jewish religious and educational institutions, with one Los Angeles-area religious center receiving repeated six-figure support for Torah and family learning. That pattern makes the foundation’s priorities unusually clear: it backs a small circle of organizations that strengthen Jewish study, religious practice, and community life. The largest recent grants include $330,000 in 2025, $320,000 in 2023, and $240,000 in 2024 to The Source of Life Inc in Encino for a religious center serving Jewish families. The foundation also funds student support and educational programming, including a $100,000 scholarship grant to Stand With US and grants to yeshivas, kollels, and related Jewish institutions. Its giving extends beyond local religious education to Israel-related education, IDF support, and advocacy-oriented work, but those awards appear alongside a broader, consistent emphasis on Jewish learning. The pattern is less about many small awards than about concentrated support for institutions tied to instruction, scholarship, and religious continuity.
Jewish education is the clearest throughline in the foundation’s recent grants. It gave $35,000 in 2023, $30,000 in 2024, and $25,000 in 2025 to Yeshiva Ketana of Los Angeles for a scholarship fund, while also awarding $11,000 in 2024 to Yeshiva Hebrew Academy for a school scholarship fund. Institutional support is another theme: Mesivta of Greater Los Angeles received $22,500 in 2024 and $20,500 in 2025 for school buildings construction. The foundation also supports advanced study and community outreach, including $15,000 in 2024 to Kollel Yechiel Yehudah to advance Judaic and Talmudic studies and community outreach. Beyond education, it has funded student-oriented and advocacy work, such as $13,000 in 2024 to Ashreinujam for collegiate outreach.
Typical grant size is modest relative to the foundation’s annual payout: the 25th percentile is $3,600, the median is $5,000, and the 75th percentile is $10,375. The recent record also shows a small number of much larger awards, which points to a mixed pattern of broad scholarship support and concentrated institutional gifts. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including The Source of Life Inc, Stand With US, Yeshiva Ketana of Los Angeles, Mesivta of Greater Los Angeles, and Friends of the Idf Rabbinate. The foundation is a private foundation and funds individuals, with active programs for general support, scholarships, and religious initiatives. Unsolicited applications are accepted in its listed programs.
