DAF YOUR WAY INC predominantly funds Orthodox Jewish religious life, repeatedly supporting synagogues, yeshivas, kollels, Torah study and associated communal services. Grants are largely directed to local congregations and education/learning institutions (many in Los Angeles and the broader U.S. Orthodox community), with occasional gifts to Israel-oriented projects and relief/publishing efforts. The foundation favors many modest-to-medium sized grants, frequently issuing repeat payments to the same organizations, indicating sustained relationships rather than one-off gifts.
Concentrated, relationship-driven giving: many repeat grants to the same Orthodox institutions, a mix of a few larger multi‑thousand dollar gifts and numerous mid-to-small recurring grants, focused geographically on Los Angeles-area and U.S. Orthodox community organizations with some Israel-directed support.
Daf Your Way Inc. shows a clear pattern of repeated support for Orthodox Jewish communal institutions, especially synagogue life, Torah study, and related religious services. Among the largest recent awards, Shaarei Chesed of La in Woodland Hills received $157,700 in 2023 and $154,150 in 2024, both for general support, signaling an ongoing relationship rather than a one-time gift. The same pattern appears with Keren Orah in Lakewood, which received $70,500 in 2023 and $44,450 in 2024, again for general support. The foundation also backs institutions tied to Torah learning and religious infrastructure, including Binyan Yerushalaim in Brooklyn and Mechon L'hoyroa in Monsey. Its grants are frequently directed to congregations, kollels, yeshivas, and Orthodox community organizations, with several awards marked as general support. Recent gifts also extend to chesed and hospitality-oriented groups, reflecting a focus on practical communal religious services rather than a single program area. The overall picture is of a donor that funds established Orthodox institutions through repeated, unrestricted-style grants.
Orthodox congregational support is a central theme. Shaarei Chesed of La in Woodland Hills received $157,700 in 2023 and $154,150 in 2024 for general support, and Congregation Bais Yehuda in Los Angeles received $27,000 in 2024 and $13,610 in 2023. Torah learning institutions are another major area: Kollel Yechiel Yehuda in Los Angeles received $31,445 in 2024 and $13,970 in 2023, while Yeshiva of Kasho in Bedford Hills received $20,000 in 2023 and $10,500 in 2024. The foundation also supports publishing and learning resources, including Mechon L'hoyroa in Monsey, which received $60,770 in 2024 and $56,300 in 2023. Community service appears as well, with Hachnosas Orchim of Hancock Park receiving $11,000 in 2024 for general support.
Typical grants cluster in the modest-to-medium range, with a p25 of $10,000, a median of $13,985, and a p75 of $28,111. The foundation’s recent pattern shows repeat giving to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, including multiple general-support awards to several recipients. The grants are non-PRI awards, and the organization does not fund individuals. Leadership is listed as Dovid Levin. The recent grants data also shows a strong preference for unrestricted or general support rather than project-specific funding.
