The Harvey & Gloria Kaylie Foundation is overwhelmingly focused on Israel-centered Jewish philanthropy, directing almost all of its dollars to Israeli projects and institutions. Its giving emphasizes capital and program support for Jewish communal and medical infrastructure — notably large investments in the Negev region — and it channels funds through established Jewish organizations and endowment vehicles. Grants are few in number but very large in size, suggesting strategic, high-impact gifts rather than broad retail philanthropy.
The Harvey & Gloria Kaylie Foundation Inc. has made Adi Negev Hospital its clearest recent priority, backing the project through Jewish National Fund with $7,000,000 in 2023, $1,650,000 in 2024, and $2,050,000 in 2025. That repeated support points to a grantmaker that funds through a small number of large, strategic commitments rather than a wide spread of smaller awards. The foundation’s recent giving also shows a strong Jewish communal orientation, with support flowing to institutions such as PEF Israel Endowment Fund, American Friends of Rambam, Ohel Children’s Home & Family Services, Yeshiva University, and Friends of United Hatzalah. Its portfolio combines project-based support, general operating grants, and facility-related work, including outdoor space and capital-oriented needs. Several of the named recipients are major Jewish organizations or service providers, suggesting a pattern of funding established institutions rather than early-stage projects. The foundation’s grant record is also heavily tied to Israel-centered work, especially initiatives connected to the Negev and to Israeli medical and community infrastructure.
Healthcare and rehabilitation stand out in the foundation’s recent giving. Through Jewish National Fund, it supported Adi Negev Hospital with $7,000,000 in 2023 and continued with $1,650,000 in 2024 and $2,050,000 in 2025. It also gave $270,000 in 2024 to American Friends of Rambam for general operating budget support. Jewish education and communal life appear in gifts such as $256,060 in 2025 to Yeshiva University and $100,334 in 2024 to Yeshiva Ohr Yisroel for general operating budget support. Social services are another thread: Ohel Children’s Home & Family Services received $250,000 in 2023, $180,000 in 2024, and $50,000 in 2025 for general operating budget support. Facility-related support also appears in $122,433 to Yehudi for GK Outdoor Space and $42,800 to Aviv Hatorah for general operating budget support.
Typical grant size is mid-six figures, with a p25 of $24,586, a median of $50,000, and a p75 of $151,216. The distribution shows a few exceptionally large awards alongside many grants at or near $50,000. Recent grants also show repeat recipients across multiple years, including Adi Negev Hospital, Ohel Children’s Home & Family Services, Stand With US, Israel Cancer Research Fund, Friends of United Hazalah, and Yehudi. The foundation is structured as a private foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grants in the recent list are mainly operating support or project-specific support rather than unsolicited retail-style awards.
