About Rebecca and Jeffrey Singer Charitable Foundation

The Rebecca and Jeffrey Singer Charitable Foundation’s largest recent awards have gone to Jewish day schools, led by two general-support grants to Maimonides School in Brookline, Massachusetts: $69,050 in 2024 and $66,708 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder built around sustaining Orthodox-leaning K–12 Jewish education through operating support rather than project-specific awards. Recent grants also show a second school-centered priority in the New York area, including Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy in the Bronx and Westchester Torah Academy in New Rochelle. The foundation’s giving is not broad-based across many issue areas; instead, it repeatedly backs a small set of institutions tied to Jewish religious education and community life. Alongside schools, it has supported Chabad-affiliated organizations, synagogues, and Jewish communal groups such as Chabad Lubavitch of New Hampshire, Temple Israel in Manchester, and Young Israel of Bal Harbour. The overall grant list suggests a preference for general support, with recipients often receiving funds in more than one year. Across the file, the foundation appears to use grantmaking to preserve day-school and Jewish communal infrastructure, with most awards directed to organizations serving Orthodox or religious Jewish communities in the Northeast and South.

What Rebecca and Jeffrey Singer Charitable Foundation Funds

Orthodox Jewish day schools are the clearest theme in the foundation’s portfolio. In 2025, it gave $54,725 to Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy in the Bronx for general support, and in 2024 and 2025 it supported Westchester Torah Academy in New Rochelle with $18,000 and $10,000. Jewish communal institutions also appear repeatedly. The foundation made a $18,000 general-support grant to Chabad Lubavitch of New Hampshire in 2025, plus $10,000 to the Jewish Federation of New Hampshire in 2024. In the Boston area, it gave $2,000 to Chabad of Brookline Inc and $1,500 to Aish Campus Boston Inc in 2025. Its portfolio also includes synagogue and community support in Florida and New England, including Young Israel of Bal Harbour, Temple Israel in Manchester, and Seacost Chabad Jewish Center in Newington. Those gifts reinforce a pattern of backing local Jewish institutions with unrestricted support.
