The Jahn and Sabrina Levin Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving on Jewish communal life and Israel engagement, supporting major national organizations that advance Jewish identity, advocacy, and people-to-people connections. It also makes targeted gifts to higher education/academic-affiliated projects and occasional global health/nutrition efforts, suggesting a donor interest that mixes community identity with education and humanitarian impact. Grants are few but sizable and directed to established organizations rather than many small grassroots groups.
Concentrated giving: a small number of relatively large, one-off grants to national or institutional organizations. Funding is directed at established, high-profile grantees rather than a broad portfolio of small, local nonprofits.
A cluster of Jewish communal and Israel-related gifts stands out in The Jahn and Sabrina Levin Charitable Foundation’s recent record. The foundation has supported UJA, Birthright Israel Foundation, American Jewish Committee, and Friends of the Idf New York, pointing to a clear pattern of backing organizations tied to Jewish identity, advocacy, and connection to Israel. Its largest recent grant in the data, $87,370 to Uja in 2024, sits alongside repeat gifts to the same ecosystem rather than a one-off transaction. The giving also reaches beyond Jewish communal organizations. Vitamin Angels appears multiple times, and the foundation has made grants to Children’s Medical Fund Syosset, Island Harvest Food, and Fedcap Rehabilitation Services Inc, showing a mix of community support, health-related work, and human services. Higher education and university-affiliated recipients also appear in the record, including Cornell Coop and the University at Albany Foundation. The pattern is one of support for established institutions, with repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years and several grants at the low five-figure level.
Jewish communal funding is the clearest theme in the foundation’s record. In 2025, it gave $35,000 to American Jewish Committee and $35,000 to Birthright Israel Foundation, after earlier grants of $12,000 to American Jewish Committee in 2023 and $30,000 and $25,000 to Birthright Israel Foundation in 2024 and 2023. Health and humanitarian support also appears. The foundation gave $40,000 to Vitamin Angels in 2023, then repeated that support with $30,000 in 2024 and $25,000 in 2025. It also awarded $18,966 to Children’s Medical Fund Syosset in 2023 and continued with $17,166 in both 2024 and 2025. Education-linked giving shows up through Cornell Coop, which received $35,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in both 2024 and 2025, plus grants to the University at Albany Foundation in 2025 and University Albany Foundation in 2023.
The foundation’s typical grant size is modest by foundation standards: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $2,500, and the 75th percentile is $7,679. The recent grants list shows a mix of small awards and a handful of larger commitments, with repeated support to the same organizations over multiple years rather than many isolated one-time gifts. It does not fund individuals and is not making program-related investments. The grant record also suggests a standard charitable grantmaking pattern, with awards made to established nonprofits and university-affiliated entities.
