Anschei Chesed Fund concentrates giving to Orthodox Jewish religious institutions and welfare programs that support low‑income families and communal life both in Brooklyn and in Israel. The foundation favors yeshivas, congregations, chevra/kosher relief operations and Israel‑focused charity partners, providing sizable grants for direct assistance (food, clothing, shelter) and communal religious infrastructure. Repeated multi‑year funding to familiar organizations suggests a relationship‑driven, community‑focused philanthropy.
Anschei Chesed Fund Inc concentrates on Orthodox Jewish religious institutions and welfare programs, with sizable support for families facing poverty in Brooklyn and in Israel-linked networks. The largest recent grant in the file is $874,000 to Ahavat Israel Humanity Inc in Brooklyn for food, clothing, shelter, and living expenses. That same relief frame appears across other major grants, including $651,000 to American Friends of Hebron Yeshiva in Jerusalem Inc and $523,000 to US Friends of Yeshiva Baba Sali. The funder’s recent pattern shows repeated support for yeshivas, congregations, and community charities that provide direct assistance and religious infrastructure. Several recipients appear more than once across the years, including Ahavat Israel Humanity Inc, Mifalot Simcha, American Friends of Hebron Yeshiva in Jerusalem Inc, and US Friends of Yeshiva Baba Sali. Grants also reach chevra and gemach-style community services, such as The Chevra Gemach, alongside Brooklyn congregational recipients like Congregation Ahavas Tzdokah V'chesed Inc and Midrash David Foundation Inc. The overall picture is a relationship-based grantmaker centered on basic needs support within Orthodox Jewish communal life.
The foundation’s core support goes to poverty relief for Jewish families. It gave $874,000 to Ahavat Israel Humanity Inc and $280,000 in an earlier year to the same organization, both for food, clothing, shelter, and living expenses. A second area is yeshiva and rabbinical institution support. Grants include $651,000 to American Friends of Hebron Yeshiva in Jerusalem Inc, $523,000 to US Friends of Yeshiva Baba Sali, and another $250,000 to Kollel Vasikin Vrashbi. Community-based mutual aid is another visible theme. The Chevra Gemach received $33,245 for assistance to families struggling with poverty, while Congregation Ahavas Tzdokah V'chesed Inc and Cong Chasdei Lev were funded for similar basic-needs support. The grant purposes stay focused on direct household relief rather than broad program building.
Typical grant size is substantial: the 25th percentile is $61,875, the median is $131,000, and the 75th percentile is $257,500. The recent record shows repeated awards to the same recipients across multiple years, which points to ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-off gifts. Grants are made by Anschei Chesed Fund Inc as an operating foundation; it does not make program-related investments and does not fund individuals. The filing year on file is 2025.
