Eretz Hachaim US Inc concentrates its philanthropy on Orthodox Jewish communal life, prioritizing Hasidic congregations, yeshivas/kollel institutions, and intra-community charitable funds. Grants are largely unrestricted “charitable” awards and often repeat to the same institutions, indicating long-term support for local religious infrastructure and education primarily serving Brooklyn and adjacent ultra-Orthodox communities. A few grants reference Jerusalem-linked institutions, suggesting some cross-border ties to Israeli yeshivas or projects.
Eretz Hachaim US Inc’s giving is anchored by very large unrestricted charitable awards to Orthodox Jewish institutions, with the biggest recent grant at $8,200,480 to an available-upon-request Brooklyn recipient in 2025. That scale sits alongside repeated support for Brooklyn and nearby ultra-Orthodox communities, where the foundation has backed synagogues, yeshivas, kollels, and communal funds over multiple years. The pattern suggests a funder that supports the operating needs of religious and community infrastructure rather than a wide mix of secular causes. Several recipients appear more than once, including Lev Haevrei, Binyan Yerushalayim, and Yeshivat Ateret Yisrael, which points to continuing relationships rather than one-time awards. Other grants go to Hasidic congregations such as Cong Khal Chasidei Skwera and Congregation Bnei Yoel Inc, as well as community-linked organizations like Tzedukas Huir Inc and Cody Inc in Monroe. The foundation also makes some cross-community awards, including support for Politz Day School of Cherry Hill and Kollel Yetev Lev Djerusalem.
Orthodox Jewish communal life is the clearest thread in the portfolio. In 2024, Eretz Hachaim US Inc gave $600,000 to Yeshivat Ateret Yisrael in Brooklyn as a charitable grant, and the same institution received $400,000 in 2023. Educational and movement-oriented groups also receive support. The foundation gave $500,000 to Bnei Torah Movement in New York in 2024, following a $400,000 award in 2023, while Binyan Yerushalayim received $1,018,000 in 2024 and $300,000 in 2023. Congregational support is another visible area. Grants include $400,000 to Cong Khal Chasidei Skwera in Brooklyn in 2024 and $500,000 to Congregation Bnei Yoel Inc in Monroe in 2024. Day-school support also appears through a $250,000 grant to Politz Day School of Cherry Hill in 2023.
Grant sizes are wide-ranging, but the center of gravity is large: the 25th percentile is $137,600, the median is $300,000, and the 75th percentile is $500,000. The recent record also shows repeat awards to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than isolated gifts. Most grants are labeled charitable, pointing to general support within the foundation’s religious and communal priorities. The pattern is consistent with a local, relationship-based funder rather than an open, broadly soliciting grantmaker.
