The Volosov Family Foundation is a Baltimore-based funder whose giving is heavily focused on Orthodox Jewish life and institutions, primarily supporting day schools, yeshivas, synagogues and religious educational programs with core operating grants. Their portfolio also includes Jewish communal infrastructure and Israel/public policy support, plus modest gifts to child/family services tied to the Jewish community. Grants are predominantly local to Baltimore but include a handful of national/international Jewish education and outreach organizations.
Concentrated, repeat operating support: multi-year and multiple grants to a relatively small set of Baltimore Orthodox institutions. Typical grants are mid-size (many in the $100k–$1.8M range total per grantee), geographically concentrated with occasional national/international Jewish education and Israel-advocacy gifts.
Volosov Family Foundation Inc’s largest recent grants go to Orthodox Jewish day schools in Baltimore, with Bais Yaakov School for Girls receiving $813,772 in 2024 and $810,728 in 2025. That pattern fits a broader portfolio centered on Jewish education and communal institutions, where the foundation repeatedly funds schools, yeshivas, synagogues, and related organizations with operating or general support. The giving extends beyond one institution: Talmudical Academy of Baltimore received $481,418 in 2025, while Torah Institute of Baltimore was supported at $379,305 in 2025 and $376,022 in 2024. The foundation also backs Jewish community infrastructure and advocacy groups. The Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore received $476,830 in 2024 and $129,854 in 2025, and American Israel Public Affairs Committee received $200,000 in 2024 and $150,000 in 2025. Smaller but still substantial grants also reach organizations such as Cheder Chabad Inc, Ohr Chadash Academy, and Bais Haknesses of Baltimore Inc, showing a consistent emphasis on institutions serving Orthodox Jewish life and education.
Jewish education is the clearest theme in the recent grants. Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore Inc received $332,809 in 2025 and $325,918 in 2024 for general and operating support, while Ohr Chadash Academy received $246,879 in 2025 and $210,591 in 2024. Yeshivas and rabbinical training are another recurring area: Yeshivas Toras Simcha was awarded $106,622 in 2025 and $102,206 in 2024, and Ner Israel Rabbinical College received $102,090 in 2025. The foundation also supports community infrastructure tied to Orthodox Jewish life. Bais Haknesses of Baltimore Inc received $130,000 in 2023 and $125,000 in 2025, and The Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore received both operating and general support. Beyond Baltimore, the grant to Njy Camps in Fairfield, NJ shows that children’s and youth-serving Jewish programming is also part of the portfolio.
Typical grants are sized at $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $111,888 at the 75th percentile, which places many awards in a moderate operating-support range while leaving room for much larger institutional gifts. The recent grants show repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, including Bais Yaakov School for Girls, Torah Institute of Baltimore, Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore Inc, and Ohr Chadash Academy. The foundation is a private family foundation, led by Marc B Terrill, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.

Giving is concentrated in the United States, with recipients entirely in U.S. locations in the recent-grants sample. Baltimore is the main hub, with repeated grants to organizations in Baltimore itself and nearby Owings Mills and Pikesville. New York appears as the top state by grant count, and recent recipients there include Brooklyn-based Ohr Somayach International Inc and Fairfield, NJ-based Njy Camps. Washington, DC also appears through grants to American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The foundation gives mainly to Orthodox Jewish schools, yeshivas, synagogues, and communal institutions. Recent grants include Bais Yaakov School for Girls, Talmudical Academy of Baltimore, Torah Institute of Baltimore, Bais Haknesses of Baltimore Inc, and The Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore.
Yes. The recent grants list is full of operating and general support awards, including $813,772 to Bais Yaakov School for Girls for operating support in 2024, $481,418 to Talmudical Academy of Baltimore for general support in 2025, and $476,830 to The Associated Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore for operating support in 2024.
The grant-size distribution is $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $111,888 at the 75th percentile. That suggests many grants are in the tens of thousands, with some larger institutional awards above $100,000.
Several organizations appear in multiple years, showing repeat support rather than one-time funding. Examples include Bais Yaakov School for Girls in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Torah Institute of Baltimore in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore Inc in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
By grant count, New York is the top state. In the recent grants sample, however, many awards go to Baltimore-area recipients such as Bais Yaakov School for Girls, Talmudical Academy of Baltimore, Torah Institute of Baltimore, and Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore Inc.
