Tifferet Moshe Inc. is a Lakewood, NJ–based funder that concentrates almost exclusively on Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions, especially local yeshivas, chadorim, and Bais Yaakov girls' schools. Grants are typically modest-to-midsize and directed to institutions and community congregations rather than broad secular causes; occasional support reaches affiliated Israeli organizations. The foundation favors core institutional support (tuition/school operations and synagogue/yeshiva support) and repeatedly funds a set of familiar local grantees.
Tifferet Moshe Inc. directs most of its grantmaking toward Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions in and around Lakewood, with repeated support for local yeshivas, chadorim, Bais Yaakov schools, and congregations. The foundation’s recent grants show a steady pattern of institutional support rather than project-based philanthropy, with awards flowing to schools and community religious organizations that serve students and families engaged in Torah study and faith-based education. Among the largest recent grants are $19,500 to The Jewish Benevolent Society and $18,100 to Chayei Olam, both in Lakewood and both described as support for a religious and educational institution. Similar grants also went to Tifereth Chaya, Yeshiva Nachlei Torah, and Lakewood Cheder School, indicating an emphasis on core operating or institutional needs across familiar local recipients. The grant list also includes a smaller number of awards beyond Lakewood, including an Israeli-linked recipient in Netanya and a few grantees in New York, but the dominant pattern remains local and institution-centered.
In Orthodox boys’ education, the foundation gave $14,400 to Yeshiva Nachlei Torah for support of a religious and educational institution, and $9,410 to Mesivta of Lakewood NJ Center for Judaic Studies for the same purpose. Girls’ education is another recurring area: Bnos Devorah received $10,338 in 2023 and $8,700 in 2024, while Oros Bais Yaakov received $7,728. The foundation also supports synagogue and community religious life, including $10,000 to Congregation Zichron Moshe and $7,200 to Shiras Chaim. Beyond Lakewood, the grant list includes $8,500 to American Friends of Netanya and $7,000 to Matzmiach Yeshuos in Brooklyn, showing some support for affiliated communities outside New Jersey.
Typical grants are modest to midsize: the 25th percentile is $6,975, the median is $8,600, and the 75th percentile is $10,169. The list shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including The Jewish Benevolent Society, Chayei Olam, Tifereth Chaya, Bais Reuven Kaminetz, and Mesivta of Lakewood NJ Center for Judaic Studies. Grants are made by an operating foundation, not to individuals, and the pattern is overwhelmingly institutional. No application process is described in the data.
