The Pary & Abdulrahim Levian Charitable Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on local Jewish communal institutions in the Great Neck/North Shore area, with a strong emphasis on synagogue support and capital projects for Jewish day schools. The foundation makes a small number of very large, targeted grants to a few repeat recipients rather than broad, diversified giving. Its funding is transactional and program- or facility-focused (e.g., synagogue programming and school building funds).
The Pary & Abdulrahim Levian Charitable Foundation’s largest recent commitments are repeated seven-figure grants to Umjca for synagogue and related programs, including $2,036,000 in 2025 and $1,370,000 in 2024. That pattern points to a funder that gives through a few closely held relationships rather than a wide portfolio. Its support centers on Jewish communal life in the Great Neck and North Shore area, with grants also flowing to school buildings, scholarship funds, and assistance for people in need. The foundation’s recent record shows sustained backing for institutions that anchor local religious and educational life. North Shore Heb Academy received multiple building-fund grants, while other recipients include synagogue organizations, scholarship intermediaries, and community aid groups in New York and nearby Jewish communities. The grants are mostly restricted to specific purposes such as synagogue programming, building funds, scholarship support, and direct aid. With annual grants of $8,847,900 and total assets of $9,387,478, the foundation operates at a level that allows a small number of large awards to drive its profile. The giving pattern is concentrated and relationship-based, with repeat grants appearing across multiple years.
Synagogue support is a defining theme. Umjca received multiple major grants for synagogue and related programs, including $2,036,000 in 2025 and $1,632,000 in 2023, showing a sustained commitment to congregational operations and programming. Education appears through facility and scholarship support. North Shore Heb Academy received $244,000 in 2025 for its building fund, while American Friends of Netiv Aryeh received scholarship funding in several years, including $56,000 in 2024 and $54,000 in 2025. The foundation also funds direct aid through Jewish communal service organizations. Queens Hatzolo Aid Inc received $126,000 in 2023 to benefit people in need, and Tomchei Shabbos of Queens received $46,000 in 2025 for the same purpose. A smaller stream of grants supports other faith-linked community uses, including American Friends of Chabad of Thail for people in need.
Grant sizes cluster around the mid-five-figure range, with a typical grant size of $18,000 at the 25th percentile, $36,000 at the median, and $46,000 at the 75th percentile. The distribution is shaped by a few much larger awards rather than a broad spread of many small grants. Recipients recur across years: Umjca, North Shore Heb Academy, American Friends of Netiv Aryeh, Shaar Haemet, and Tomchei Shabbos of Queens each appear more than once in the recent-grants list. The foundation’s giving is locally focused and appears to be restricted to named purposes such as synagogue programs, building funds, scholarship funds, and aid for people in need. It also funds individuals, consistent with its scholarship-oriented grants.
