The Paul and Emily Singer Family Foundation focuses its giving almost exclusively on Jewish communal causes, concentrating support for regional Jewish federations and Israel-related organizations. A large share of funding goes to repeated, unrestricted program support for the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach, with a smaller allocation to the Jewish National Fund. The foundation appears to prioritize sustaining Jewish community infrastructure and Israel-focused projects rather than a broad mix of issue areas.
Concentrated giving: few, relatively large grants with a heavy concentration on one recurring grantee (Jewish Federation of Palm Beach) and selective support for Israel-focused organizations.
The Paul and Emily Singer Family Foundation gives almost entirely to Jewish communal institutions, with repeated support for regional federations, Holocaust education, and Israel-related organizations. The clearest pattern in the recent grants is recurring operating support for Jewish Federation of Palm Beach, which appears multiple times across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That same pattern extends to other Jewish organizations, including Jewish National Fund and several synagogues and schools in Maryland and beyond. The foundation’s giving also reaches community-serving nonprofits outside the core Jewish network, such as Weekend Backpacks for Homeless Kids in Baltimore and the United States Holocaust Memorial in Washington, DC. Within the grant list, support is often described simply as funding to support programs, indicating a preference for sustaining existing work rather than financing narrowly defined projects. The mix of Jewish communal infrastructure, education, and Israel-related commitments suggests a donor focused on maintaining institutions that serve local, national, and Israel-connected Jewish life.
Jewish communal infrastructure is the foundation’s main funding area. It gave $35,000 in 2025 to Jewish Federation of Palm Beach and repeated program support to the same organization in earlier years, including a $74,000 grant in 2024. The foundation also backed Jewish National Fund, with $36,000 in 2025 and $18,000 in 2023, both described as support for the organization’s programs. Education and community services appear in several grants as well. It awarded $10,000 to Kellman Brown Academy in Voorhees Township, NJ, and $10,000 to Temple Beth Shalom in Arnold, MD, each for program support. Its broader nonprofit support includes $15,000 to Weekend Backpacks for Homeless Kids in Baltimore for the organization’s programs.
Typical grants are small to mid-sized, with a p25 of $500, a median of $1,000, and a p75 of $2,000, even though a few larger grants stand out in the recent list. The same grantees recur across multiple years, especially Jewish Federation of Palm Beach, Jewish National Fund, Weekend Backpacks for Homeless Kids, Irvine Nature Center, and the United States Holocaust Memorial. That repeat pattern points to ongoing support rather than one-time awards. The foundation is not listed as funding individuals and does not make program-related investments. The available grants are structured as direct support to nonprofit organizations, often framed as program support.
