The Unterberg Charitable Foundation Trust concentrates its giving on Jewish religious and educational organizations, primarily supporting institutions connected to Jerusalem and Orthodox Jewish life. Grants are few but substantial, directed toward charity and education purposes rather than broad philanthropic categories. The foundation appears donor-directed toward specific institutions it has a relationship with.
Concentrated, donor-directed giving: a very small number of relatively large grants with repeat funding to at least one core grantee (Yad Moshe). Funding is targeted rather than broadly distributed across many causes.
The David and Cheryl Unterberg Charitable Foundation Trust gives repeatedly to Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions, with a clear pattern of support for organizations tied to Jerusalem and yeshiva life. Its recent grants show a mix of U.S.-based recipients and Israel-linked institutions, all receiving charitable and educational-purpose support. The largest recent award on file was $36,300 to Yad Moshe in Brooklyn, followed by $35,000 to American Friend of Genesis Jerusalem in Springfield, New Jersey. That same pattern continues across later years, including $30,700 to Yad Moshe in 2025 and several $25,000 grants to American Friend of Migdal Ohr and American Friend of Genesis Jerusalem. The foundation also supports institutions such as Rambam Mestiva in Lawrence, Bais Hatalmud in Brooklyn, and Shavei Hevron Institutes in Brooklyn, suggesting a portfolio centered on religious learning, communal institutions, and Israel-connected charitable work. The grant list indicates giving that is concentrated rather than broad, with the same organizations appearing more than once across multiple years.
Jewish education is a core theme in the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $25,000 to Rambam Mestiva in Lawrence, New York, for charitable and educational purposes, and later gave the same grantee $10,000 in 2025. Support for yeshiva-related institutions also appears in its grants to Bais Hatalmud in Brooklyn, which received $20,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Israel-connected communal work is another recurring focus. The foundation gave $25,000 to American Friend of Migdal Ohr in Migdal Haemek in both 2023 and 2024, and again in 2025. It also supported American Friend of Genesis Jerusalem with $35,000 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2025. In New York and New Jersey, the trust backed congregational and academy-based recipients such as Congregation Agudas Israel in Newburgh and Yavneh Academy in Paramus.
Typical grants cluster around a modest middle range: p25 is $250, median is $1,000, and p75 is $5,062. The recent-grants list shows a different pattern at the top end, where the trust sometimes makes much larger awards to the same recipients across multiple years, including repeated support for certain organizations. Its giving is structured as charitable foundation grantmaking, not individuals and not program-related investments. The trust’s recurring appearances in the grant list suggest an ongoing relationship-based pattern rather than isolated one-off awards.

Notable grantees: Yad Moshe, American Friends of Genesis Jerusalem
Most grants go to U.S. recipients, which account for 142 awards, or 97.9% of the country distribution. New York is the top state by grant count, and the recent list shows many recipients in Brooklyn, Lawrence, and Newburgh. New Jersey also appears frequently, including Springfield, Paramus, and Hillside. Outside the United States, the recipient country distribution includes Israel, with grants to Migdal Haemek. The geographic pattern is regional, with a strong concentration in the New York area and a smaller set of Israel-linked grants.
The trust supports Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions, along with charitable organizations connected to Jerusalem and yeshiva-related work. Recent recipients include schools, congregations, and Israel-linked friends-of organizations, all funded for charitable and educational purposes.
Its distribution is relatively small at the middle of the range: p25 is $250, median grant size is $1,000, and p75 is $5,062. The recent-grants list also includes larger repeat awards to some recipients, but those are above the typical range.
Yes. The recipient-country distribution includes Israel, which accounts for 3 grants, or 2.1% of the listed total. Those grants go alongside a much larger share of U.S.-based giving.
Yes. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Yad Moshe, Bais Hatalmud, American Friend of Genesis Jerusalem, American Friend of Migdal Ohr, Bris Avrohem, and Yavneh Academy. That pattern points to repeated awards rather than purely one-time gifts.
