Ahavat Yisroel Humanity Inc. concentrates its funding on Orthodox Jewish religious life and education, repeatedly supporting yeshivas, kollels, congregations and rabbinic training both in Brooklyn and in Israel. The foundation also directs significant support to Israel-focused humanitarian and defense-linked charities and to Jewish social-service/educational programs (including special-needs/Jewish education). Giving is dominated by a small number of large, repeat grantees, indicating long-term institutional partnerships rather than one-off grants.
Concentrated, high-dollar giving to a core set of repeat grantees (multiple multi-hundred-thousand to multi-million dollar grants), with most dollars directed to religious/educational institutions and a minority to Israel-focused and social-service charities.
Ahavat Yisroel Humanity Inc. repeatedly backs Orthodox Jewish institutions with large general-support grants, and its recent awards show multi-year commitments to the same organizations. The biggest grant in the recent list is $2,050,000 to Kollel Dchasidei Belz in Brooklyn for general support, followed closely by $1,929,500 to Morasha Vadaat Menuchat Olamim Inc. in Brooklyn. That pattern continues in 2025, when Morasha Vadaat Menuchat Olamim Inc. received another $974,400 and Congregation Yeshiva Yad Moishe received $806,000. The foundation’s portfolio also reaches beyond Brooklyn to other Jewish institutions in New York and to Israel-linked charities, including American Friends of Yad Eliezer in Jackson, New Jersey. Across the recent grants list, the same grantees recur across multiple years, which points to sustained institutional support rather than isolated awards. The funding pattern centers on general operating support for yeshivas, kollels, congregations, rabbinic training, and related Jewish education and community organizations.
A major share of the foundation’s giving goes to yeshiva and kollel support. Examples include $2,050,000 to Kollel Dchasidei Belz for general support and $806,000 to Congregation Yeshiva Yad Moishe for general support. It also supports rabbinic training and Torah scholarship institutions, such as $300,000 to American Friends of Rabbinical College of Telzstone and $265,120 to Merkaz Torani Oraita Inc. for general support. Jewish education and special-needs services are another clear area: Gateways Organization Inc. received $550,000 in 2023 and $213,000 in 2024, both for general support. The foundation also funds synagogue and congregational infrastructure, including $410,000 to Congregation Kinyan Torah and $400,000 to Cong Lev Simcha.
Typical grant sizes cluster around the middle of the list: the 25th percentile is $20,372, the median is $50,000, and the 75th percentile is $133,584. The recent grants show repeated awards to the same recipients over multiple years, including Morasha Vadaat Menuchat Olamim Inc., Gateways Organization Inc., Merkaz Torani Oraita Inc., and Binyan Yerushlaim. Grants are overwhelmingly for general support. Ahavat Yisroel Humanity Inc. does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals, indicating a grantmaking-only structure focused on institutional support.
