About Endowment Fund of Maccabi Usa Sports for Israel
The Endowment Fund of Maccabi USA Sports for Israel Inc centers its giving on one operating organization: Maccabi USA Inc, which received the fund’s three largest recent grants of $867,992 in 2024, $775,254 in 2025, and $719,845 in 2023. That pattern points to a funder built around sustained support for Maccabi USA’s programs rather than a broad portfolio of outside charities. The stated mission is to support the mission and programs of Maccabi USA (Sports for Israel), with a focus on building Jewish pride through sports and strengthening connections to Israel, Zionism, Jewish continuity, and athletic, educational, and cultural experiences. The fund also includes a named scholarship program, the Stuart Weitzman Scholarship Fund, which supports young Jewish athletes in financial need so they can participate in a Maccabiah experience. With annual grants of $2,363,091 and total assets of $25,071,037, the foundation operates at a substantial scale while keeping its grantmaking tightly aligned with Maccabi USA’s mission and athlete-centered programming.

A third theme is Israel engagement: the organization’s purpose statement links giving to strengthening connections to Israel and Zionism. The same mission language also includes educational and cultural experiences, showing that the funder’s support extends beyond competition alone and into program activity around identity, learning, and culture.
