Slomo and Cindy Silvian Foundation

About Slomo and Cindy Silvian Foundation

The Slomo and Cindy Silvian Foundation Inc. shows a strong pattern of funding Jewish communal response work alongside health and child-focused services. In the recent grant list, that appears in a $75,000 grant to Friends of United Hatzalah for emergency response and a $75,000 grant to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee for emergency relief to the Ukrainian Jewish community. Those larger awards sit within a broader portfolio that also reaches medical care, medical research, education, and children’s welfare. The foundation’s giving is national, but many of its grants go to New York-based recipients, including organizations serving emergency medical needs, Jewish institutions, and community programs. Its recent awards suggest a funder that supports both direct service and communal infrastructure. Medical care grants include support for organizations tied to emergency treatment and patient services, while education and children’s welfare grants show attention to schools, museums, food support, and child-serving organizations. Jewish philanthropic grants run through organizations working on community security, refugee support, remembrance, and relief. The overall picture is of a foundation that funds practical services and Jewish communal priorities through recurring grants to a mix of established intermediaries and local nonprofits.
