The Moskow Foundation concentrates large, targeted grants to advocacy and community organizations, with a clear interest in Jewish/Israel-related security and civil-rights work, regional environmental protection, and a mix of animal-welfare and public-media support. They favor a small slate of repeat, high-value grantees rather than many one-off gifts, largely focused in the Boston/New England region but with some international Jewish/Israel giving.
Concentrated, mid-to-large grants with repeat funding to a handful of core organizations; only a few grantees receive the majority of dollars rather than broad, small-dollar distribution.
The Moskow Foundation shows a clear pattern of large, targeted program grants to a small group of recurring organizations. In the recent grants list, the largest award is $100,000 to the Anti Defamation League for program support, followed by repeated $50,000 and $25,000 grants across a narrow set of causes. That mix points to a funder that backs advocacy, civic, and community organizations with sustained support rather than broad one-time giving. The foundation’s giving reaches Jewish and Israel-related security organizations, civil-rights advocacy, environmental conservation, animal welfare, and public media. Friends of the Israel Defense Forces appears more than once, and Conservation Law Foundation also receives repeat support. Alongside those, the foundation has funded Massachusetts SPCA, National Public Radio Inc, and other groups working in public-interest and community service roles. Its grants are mostly in the Boston area and broader Northeast, with New York-based recipients also appearing frequently. The portfolio includes both regional organizations and a small number of groups with national or international reach, such as Ukraine Crisis Aid Group and The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust USA Inc.
In civil-rights and anti-defamation work, the foundation gave $100,000 to Anti Defamation League in 2024 for program support, then followed with additional support in 2025 and 2026. That repeated backing places advocacy and public-policy work among its most consistent commitments. Environmental and conservation work is another recurring thread. Conservation Law Foundation received $50,000 in 2024 and 2025, plus a $25,000 grant in 2026, all for program support. The pattern suggests ongoing support for regional environmental legal and policy work. Animal welfare also appears in the recent record. Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals received $50,000 in 2025, while The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust USA Inc received $25,000 in 2026. The foundation also supported public media and education-related work, including $25,000 to National Public Radio Inc in 2025 and 2026, and $25,000 to Facing History & Ourselves in 2026.
Typical grant size clusters tightly around $25,000 to $50,000, with a median of $50,000 and a p25 of $25,000 and p75 of $50,000. The recent record also includes a single $100,000 grant, which sits above that core band. The pattern is concentrated rather than diffuse: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Anti Defamation League, Conservation Law Foundation, Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, and National Public Radio Inc. The foundation is a regular funder with $4,641,753 in total assets and $250,000 in annual grants given. The grants shown are program support awards.
