About Pargh Foundation
The Pargh Foundation focuses its giving on local Jewish life and community services in the Orlando area, prioritizing synagogue and Chabad programming, youth engagement, and community-building events. It also supports local cultural institutions (notably the Orlando Ballet) and disability/service organizations tied to the Jewish community. Grants tend to fund program support, event streaming/outreach, and youth/chavurah activities rather than large capital projects.

About Pargh Foundation
The Pargh Foundation’s recent giving is anchored in Jewish community life in Central Florida, with one large grant showing how it funds both worship and access: $41,009 to Temple Judea for the annual commitment, the Golden Chai event, streaming for High Holy Day services, and two years of Shabbat streaming services. That same pattern appears across other grants that support synagogue programs, youth engagement, and community gatherings rather than capital projects. In Orlando and nearby cities, the foundation has backed Chabad of South Orlando for C-Teen programming, Chanukah activities, discretionary use, and hurricane relief, while also supporting Shalom Orlando’s Winter Garden chavurah and related activities. Beyond strictly synagogue settings, it has made room for cultural and service-oriented work, including support for Orlando Ballet’s BE MOVED programs and JARC Florida’s video and gala-related activities. The foundation also funds Jewish educational and social infrastructure outside Florida, including a Nashville arts center and a Boston synagogue discretionary fund.
What Pargh Foundation Funds
A clear thread in the grant history is support for worship infrastructure and digital access. Temple Judea received $41,009 for High Holy Day streaming and two years of Shabbat streaming services, and later another $10,940 for its annual commitment and Golden Chai event. Youth programming is another recurring focus: Chabad of South Orlando got $30,000 for the C-Teen program and other educational efforts, plus support for Chanukah activities. Community fellowship also shows up in grants to Shalom Orlando, including $21,300 for the Winter Garden chavurah and half of the Aqua Zip'N and Zoom Floom. The foundation also backs arts and inclusion work, such as $25,000 to Orlando Ballet for the BE MOVED programs and $17,000 to JARC Florida for annual gala video sponsorship.

The Pargh Foundation’s grant sizes are modest but purposeful: the typical award is $5,000, with a median of $5,000 and a p75 of $15,500.
