The 7 Schwartz Brothers Leadership Trust concentrates its philanthropy on supporting Jewish educational exchange and overseas study, demonstrated by a single large grant to Jewish Year Abroad. Their giving appears mission-specific and targeted toward enabling Jewish students to study abroad or participate in immersive Jewish learning experiences. The foundation favors direct program support for scholarship or study-abroad initiatives rather than diversified philanthropy.
Highly concentrated: one large grant (100% of reported giving) to a single grantee; appears to fund targeted program/scholarship support rather than multiple or recurring grantees.
Notable grantees: Jewish Year Abroad
A two-year pattern of large general-support grants to Jewish Year Abroad defines 7 Schwartz Brothers Leadership Trust. In 2023, the trust gave $322,037 to Jewish Year Abroad in Teaneck, NJ, and in 2025 it followed with $313,000 to the same organization. That repeated support points to a focused funder rather than a broad grantmaker: the trust appears centered on Jewish educational exchange, overseas study, and immersive learning opportunities. Its recent grants also extend to other Jewish organizations, including Friends of Chabad in Brooklyn and Yeshivat Sha'alvim Ordinance in Inwood, signaling support for institutions that serve students and participants in religious education settings. The giving pattern is program-agnostic at the award level, with several grants listed as general support. The trust’s portfolio is concentrated and targeted, with only a handful of recent recipients and a strong emphasis on organizations connected to Jewish study, leadership development, and international educational experience.
The clearest theme in the trust’s giving is Jewish educational exchange. Jewish Year Abroad received $322,037 in 2023 and $313,000 in 2025, both for general support, showing sustained backing for year-long overseas study. A second area is support for Jewish institutional life and student-related programming: Friends of Chabad received $26,600 in 2025 and $21,600 in 2023, again as general support. The trust also funded Yeshivat Sha'alvim Ordinance with $14,000 in 2023, indicating support for a yeshiva-linked educational setting. A smaller 2025 grant of $1,000 to American Friends of Yeshivat Hesdder Sderot Inc adds another example of support for Jewish learning institutions.
Typical grant size sits at a $17,800 25th percentile, a $21,600 median, and a $171,818 75th percentile, which reflects a mix of modest awards and a few very large commitments. The trust’s recent record shows repeat funding to the same grantee across 2023 and 2025, rather than one-off awards only. The structure appears to be a private trust, and the grants are described as general support rather than restricted project funding. No application process is indicated in the data.

Grant recipients are all in the United States. Teaneck, NJ is the main destination in the recent sample, with Jewish Year Abroad accounting for the largest awards. Brooklyn, NY appears through Friends of Chabad, while Inwood, NY and Passaic, NJ also show up among recipients. New Jersey is the top state by grant count, and 67% of grants go to recipients in New York, so the trust’s giving is concentrated in the New York–New Jersey area rather than in its Kings Point headquarters.
The trust supports Jewish educational and religious institutions, especially through general support grants. Recent recipients include Jewish Year Abroad for overseas study, Friends of Chabad for general support, and Yeshivat Sha'alvim Ordinance for general support. The recurring pattern points to Jewish study, student support, and immersive educational experiences.
Yes. Jewish Year Abroad received $322,037 in 2023 and $313,000 in 2025. Friends of Chabad also appears twice, with $21,600 in 2023 and $26,600 in 2025. That suggests ongoing support rather than isolated one-time awards.
The middle of the distribution is $21,600, with a 25th percentile of $17,800 and a 75th percentile of $171,818. That spread shows that many awards are relatively modest, while a small number are much larger.
The trust gives most often in New Jersey, and 67% of grants go to recipients in New York. Recent recipients are located in Teaneck, Brooklyn, Inwood, and Passaic, so the funding is concentrated in the New York–New Jersey region.
