About Tov Vchesed Foundation
Tov Vchesed Foundation Inc centers its grantmaking on orphaned children and impoverished families, with a clear emphasis on preserving dignity through material aid and emotional support. The foundation’s active programs make that approach visible: one supports orphaned boys with Bar Mitzvah celebrations, and another funds weddings for orphaned brides through direct vendor payments and review by a board of rabbanim. Those programs place simcha support alongside broader relief for families under financial strain. Recent grants show a pattern of substantial charitable support to community organizations that appear to align with that mission. The foundation gave $800,000 in both 2024 and 2025 to Mifal Ezra Zichron Yehude in Brooklyn, and $400,000 to Vaad Harabbanim in Lakewood in 2023. It also made repeated support to Chino Vcisda, The Press Foundation, Ohr Shmuel, Zichron Menachem Inc, and Mosdos Toldos Aharon across multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. The result is a grantmaker focused less on broad portfolio diversification and more on sustained assistance for Jewish communal and family-support needs.
What Tov Vchesed Foundation Funds
One major theme is simcha support tied to life-cycle events. Tov Vchesed Foundation Inc runs a Bar Mitzvah program for orphaned boys and a wedding program for orphaned brides, both designed to help recipients celebrate with dignity and to route payments directly to vendors. A second theme is support for organizations serving families and communities under strain. The foundation gave $102,000 in 2025 to Zichron Menachem Inc in Monsey, and it also supported Cong Zichron Shlomo in Passaic with $60,000 in 2025. Food- and welfare-oriented support appears as well. In 2023, it awarded $100,000 to Congregation Torah U-teffilah in Brooklyn, while another 2023 grant of $44,250 went to Yam Hachesed Vhatorah in Monsey. Across these grants, the foundation’s work blends direct aid, community relief, and dignity-focused assistance.
How Tov Vchesed Foundation Gives

The recent-grants list also shows much larger awards, including repeated seven-figure-scale support to a small number of recipients. The pattern is relationship-based: several organizations appear in more than one year, including Mifal Ezra Zichron Yehude, Chino Vcisda, The Press Foundation, Mosdos Toldos Aharon, Ohr Shmuel, Zichron Menachem Inc, and Cong Kollel Berach Moshe. The foundation does make some direct programmatic support, and its active simcha programs accept unsolicited applications.
