The Weiskopf Family Foundation concentrates its giving almost exclusively on Orthodox Jewish education, making multiple large grants to Torah U’Mesorah to support Jewish day schools, teacher development, and broader educational infrastructure. Based in Monsey, NY, the foundation appears to prioritize sustaining and strengthening Jewish communal education networks rather than a diversified philanthropic portfolio.
Highly concentrated: all funding goes to a single organization (Torah U’Mesorah) via multiple large grants. The foundation favors repeat, sizable gifts to a core grantee rather than distributing many small or diverse awards.
The Weiskopf Family Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated large grants to Torah U’Mesorah, including $450,650 in 2025, $402,000 in 2024, and $431,000 in 2023 for charitable purposes. That pattern points to a funder centered on Orthodox Jewish education infrastructure rather than a broad thematic spread. Across the recent-grants list, the foundation supports day schools, yeshivot, teacher development, and related communal institutions, with several awards at six figures and many smaller charitable-purpose grants mixed in. Other sizable awards show the same educational emphasis across multiple institutions. Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood received $183,001 in 2023, $125,000 in 2024, and $160,000 in 2025. Yeshivas Mir in Brooklyn received $118,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The list also includes grants to Congregation Yeshiva Bais Hillel, Yeshiva of Spring Valley, Yeshiva Ahavas Yakov, and Yeshiva Meor Yitzchok. Together, these grants suggest sustained support for Orthodox Jewish schooling and the organizations that help maintain it.
Education is the clearest focus in the grant list. The foundation gave $180,000 to Yeshiva Gedolah of Elkins Park in 2023, $145,500 to Yeshiva of Spring Valley in 2023, and $101,000 to Yeshivas Ohr Naftoli in 2024, all listed for charitable purposes. It also backs institutions that appear to serve broader community and welfare needs within Orthodox Jewish settings. Grants include $100,000 to American Committee for the Education and Welfare in 2023 and $81,000 to Tomchei Shabbos of Rockland County in 2023. The foundation’s support reaches organized communal and relief efforts as well. In 2024, it gave $100,000 to Vaad Hatzlalah for Ukranian Jews, showing that its grantmaking extends beyond schools to targeted Jewish communal support.
The Weiskopf Family Foundation’s typical grant size is modest relative to its larger awards: p25 is $500, median $2,572, and p75 $12,000. That spread indicates a mix of many smaller grants with a smaller number of very large awards. The recent list also shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Torah U’Mesorah, Beth Medrash Govoha, and Yeshivas Mir, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation is not a funder of individuals and is not described as making program-related investments.
