Vine & Fig Tree Fund concentrates its giving on organizations working to combat antisemitism, Islamist extremism, and related forms of hate, providing unrestricted/general support to advocacy, education, and coalition-building groups. Grants are sizable and targeted to a small number of national organizations and rapid‑response coalitions that engage in public education, security/leadership development for the Jewish community, and policy/awareness campaigns. The foundation favors mission-aligned nonprofits and think tanks that operate at the intersection of religion, public affairs, and community protection.
Vine & Fig Tree Fund Inc. directs most of its recent grantmaking toward organizations combating antisemitism and related forms of hate, with support written as general support rather than narrow project funding. In 2025, its largest listed grant was $250,000 to Combat Hate Foundation for programs combating antisemitism and hate, followed by $100,000 to October 7th Coalition for the same purpose. The pattern suggests a funder backing advocacy, education, coalition-building, and community protection work rather than individuals or program-related investments. The foundation’s 2025 grants also include $100,000 to Merona Leadership Foundation and $100,000 to The Philos Project, both described as general support for programs combating antisemitism and hate. That concentration points to a small set of mission-aligned nonprofits working at the intersection of public education, leadership development, and anti-hate response. The grant list is entirely U.S.-based, and the recipient mix includes both national advocacy groups and organizations with distinct local operating bases. Across the year, Vine & Fig Tree Fund Inc. appears to favor unrestricted funding for organizations engaged in prevention-focused work and response efforts connected to antisemitism and Islamist extremism.
A clear throughline in the foundation’s giving is support for organizations working against antisemitism. It awarded $250,000 to Combat Hate Foundation for programs combating antisemitism and hate, making anti-hate work the dominant theme in the available grant set. The same framing appears in a second area: coalition response. Vine & Fig Tree Fund Inc. gave $100,000 to October 7th Coalition for general support, indicating backing for a coordinated response effort. A third strand is community leadership and resilience, reflected in $100,000 to Merona Leadership Foundation, also for general support. Media and public-facing education efforts also show up. The foundation granted $50,000 to Clarion Project for general support tied to combating antisemitism and hate. Together, these grants show a mix of advocacy, coalition-building, leadership development, and public awareness work.
The listed grants are large and unevenly sized, ranging from $50,000 to $250,000, with a median of $100,000 and a 75th percentile of $100,000. That pattern suggests a relatively concentrated grantmaking profile with a few larger awards and several standard-size commitments. All seven recent grants are described as general support. The recipient list points to repeat-style mission alignment rather than one-off thematic experimentation: every grant in the current file is aimed at combating antisemitism and hate. Vine & Fig Tree Fund Inc. is a public charity, not a foundation making program-related investments, and it does not fund individuals. The grants shown are all from 2025, so the available record supports a current-year snapshot more than a multi-year recurrence pattern.

The recent list includes recipients in Moundridge, Kansas; Nashville, Tennessee; Encino, California; New York, New York; Los Angeles, California; Richardson, Texas; and Hoboken, New Jersey. California appears twice in the sample, through Encino and Los Angeles, while the other states each appear once.
