The Salomon and Sarah Harari Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a small number of large, unrestricted gifts focused primarily on healthcare and Jewish communal causes in New York. The foundation makes multi-hundred-thousand dollar awards (including repeat support) to medical education and community health providers, and to Jewish social-service organizations. Grants are directed to established institutions rather than many small grassroots groups, suggesting a preference for scalable, institutional impact.
Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a few institutional grantees with repeat support; grants are typically unrestricted and aimed at established organizations rather than many small or new entrants.
The Salomon and Sarah Harari Family Foundation Inc. shows a clear preference for unrestricted support to a small set of established institutions, with its two largest recent grants both going to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai: $510,500 in 2024 and $500,000 in 2023. That pattern is reinforced by other large awards to New York-based healthcare and Jewish communal organizations, including Barkai Foundation Inc. in Brooklyn and SBH Community Service Network Inc. in Brooklyn. The foundation’s recent giving is centered on charitable purposes rather than project-specific awards, and it repeatedly supports the same recipients across years. Healthcare appears alongside Jewish communal service as the foundation’s main giving pattern. In addition to medical education and community health providers, it funds organizations serving Sephardic, Orthodox, and broader Jewish community needs in New York. The recipient list includes institutions in New York City, Brooklyn, Cedarhurst, Mineola, Lakewood, and a smaller number outside the region, but the overall portfolio remains concentrated and institution-focused. Recent grants also include support for cultural and community organizations such as the Sephardic Heritage Museum Inc. and Sephardic Community Alliance, as well as groups tied to medical advocacy and education.
Medical education and research are a major part of the foundation’s giving. It awarded $510,500 in 2024 and $500,000 in 2023 to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for unrestricted charitable purposes. Community health is another recurring area: SBH Community Service Network Inc. received $108,333 in 2023 and $72,000 in 2024. Jewish communal support appears across several recipients. Barkai Foundation Inc. received $260,000 in 2024, while the Sephardic Heritage Museum Inc. received $52,000 in 2023 and $18,000 in 2024. The foundation also supported Sephardic Medical Resources Inc. in Brooklyn with $50,000 in both 2023 and 2024, showing repeat support for the same organization. A smaller set of grants reached organizations connected to community infrastructure and advocacy, including Central Fund of Israel, Sephardic Community Alliance, and Jewish Orthodox Womens Medical Association Inc.
