The Sporkin Family Charitable Foundation concentrates its modest giving on local Jewish communal life, educational programs, and cultural memory work. Grants are frequently directed to synagogue-based education and Holocaust remembrance, with additional support for youth leadership/social entrepreneurship and literary arts. The foundation shows a preference for a small set of repeat grantees rather than broad, one-off giving.
The Sporkin Family Charitable Foundation’s largest recent gift was $20,639 to Resolution Project in New York, a signal of how much of its giving centers on education and community advancement. Across the recent grants list, the foundation repeatedly supports Jewish communal institutions, Holocaust remembrance, youth leadership, and literary advocacy, with many awards staying in a relatively small range rather than concentrating only in a few large checks. Temple Beth El of Huntington appears multiple times, including grants of $12,654 in 2024 and $9,145 in 2025, pointing to sustained support for synagogue-based programming. The foundation also backs organizations tied to cultural memory and civic learning, such as Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, and Author's Guild Foundation in New York, both of which receive more than one grant. Its grantmaking profile suggests a family foundation making practical, local awards to organizations that combine education, identity, and community participation. The recipient list is entirely U.S.-based, and the pattern is regional rather than national in scope.
Jewish congregational life is one of the clearest through lines in the foundation’s giving. Temple Beth El of Huntington received $12,654 in 2024 and $9,145 in 2025, while Westchester Reform Temple received $1,000 in 2023 and Orangetown Jewish Center received $371 in 2023. The foundation also supports Holocaust remembrance and education: Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC received $10,000 in 2025 and $360 in 2023. In youth development, Resolution Project received $20,639 in 2023, $10,000 in 2024, and $10,000 in 2025, showing repeated support for the same organization. Literary and publishing-related work appears through Author's Guild Foundation, which received $15,100 in 2025 and $2,000 in 2024.
Typical grants are small to modest: the 25th percentile is $368, the median is $750, and the 75th percentile is $3,255. That distribution fits a foundation that makes many low-dollar awards, with occasional larger grants such as the $20,639 gift in 2023. The recent record shows repeated support for several recipients across multiple years, including Temple Beth El of Huntington, Resolution Project, Author's Guild Foundation, Spring Street Climate Fud, and Holocaust Museum. The organization gives regionally rather than nationally and appears to use direct grants rather than program-related investments or individual awards.
