The Madeb Family Foundation primarily funds Sephardic Jewish religious, cultural and educational institutions concentrated in Brooklyn (particularly Flatbush). Their support flows to synagogues, yeshivot, Sephardic community charities and heritage-promoting organizations, often with repeat gifts to the same local institutions. Grants are mid-to-large sized and targeted to sustain religious life, cultural preservation, and community charity within the Sephardic community.
The Madeb Family Foundation gives around Sephardic Jewish religious life, with its largest recent grants going to Brooklyn institutions working to promote Sephardic culture and heritage. A 2023 grant of $65,244 to Edmond Safra Synogogue set the scale for that work, and the foundation followed with substantial support to Orot Sarah in 2024 and to Yeshiva of Flatbush in both 2024 and 2025. The pattern is not limited to schools: congregations, charitable organizations, and heritage-focused groups also appear repeatedly among recent recipients. Brooklyn is the center of this grantmaking, especially Flatbush, where synagogues and yeshivot receive multiple awards across different years. The foundation’s recent record also shows support for institutions such as Congregation Beth El of Flatbush, Sephardic Lebanese Congregation, Yeshivat Mekor Haim, and Gemilas Chesed Chasdei Yitzhak. Several grants use the same purpose language — “promote Sephardis culture and heritage” — which points to a consistent emphasis on sustaining Sephardic communal infrastructure, education, and cultural continuity.
In education, the foundation has supported day schools and yeshivot tied to Sephardic community life. Recent examples include $37,750 to Yeshiva of Flatbush in 2024, $34,000 to the same institution in 2025, and $31,297 to Yeshivat Mekor Haim in 2025, all with the stated purpose of promoting Sephardic culture and heritage. Congregational support is another clear theme. The foundation gave $28,125 to Cong Beth El of Flatbush in 2024 and $21,000 in 2025, showing repeated backing for synagogue-linked institutions. It also awarded $24,651 to Sephardic Lebanese Congregation in 2023 and $13,944 in 2025. The grant list also includes charitable and community-oriented recipients such as $34,276 to Gemilas Chesed Chasdei Yitzhak in 2024 and $15,001 to Care Foundation for Special Children in 2023, indicating support for local service organizations within the same community framework.
Typical grants fall in a modest-to-midrange band: the 25th percentile is $600, the median is $1,200, and the 75th percentile is $5,550. The recent grants list, however, also shows much larger awards for certain institutions, including repeated support over multiple years. This is a recurring-gift pattern rather than a one-off one. Yeshiva of Flatbush, Congregation Beth El of Flatbush, Yeshivat Mekor Haim, Sephardic Lebanese Congregation, Beer Miriam Charitable Foundation, and A Time each appear in more than one grant year. The foundation is not funding individuals and is not making program-related investments, so the activity is entirely institutional grantmaking.
