The Keren Avrohom Vsoroh Foundation concentrates its modest giving on Orthodox Jewish religious education and communal support, primarily funding yeshivas, girls’ schools, and congregations while also directing resources toward charitable relief for the needy. Grants are local to the New York/New Jersey Jewish community and emphasize sustaining institutions that provide religious instruction and social support services.
Concentrated, small-number grantmaking: a few relatively large gifts totaling about $118k, with repeat disbursements categorized as 'Misc Charities' and targeted one-off grants to local schools and a congregation. Emphasis on sustaining core community institutions rather than broad, programmatic diversification.
Keren Avrohom Vsoroh Foundation’s recent giving is centered on Orthodox Jewish religious education and support for the needy, with its largest reported grant of $63,257 going to Misc Charities in 2023 for those purposes. The foundation’s pattern is modest in total dollars but consistent in mission: it funded the same Brooklyn charity again in 2024 and 2025, alongside grants to a yeshiva and a congregation in Monsey. That mix points to a funder focused on sustaining religious instruction, school support, and communal relief within the New York Jewish community. The foundation’s recent awards show a narrow institutional footprint rather than a broad portfolio. One grant supported Bais Yakov of Ramapo for religious education and school help, while another went to Cong Sharei Shamayim for similar work. The recurring Brooklyn recipient suggests an emphasis on direct support for organizations already embedded in local Orthodox communal life. With annual grants totaling $117,885 and a 2025 filing year on record, the foundation’s grantmaking appears concentrated, local, and purpose-driven.
Religious education is the clearest thread in the foundation’s grants. It gave $20,525 in 2025 to Misc Charities in Brooklyn for “religous education and help needy and poor,” and $10,000 to Bais Yakov of Ramapo in Monsey for “religous education and help schools.” The foundation also supports congregational life. In 2025, it awarded $10,000 to Cong Sharei Shamayim in Monsey for “religous education and help schools,” linking synagogue support to broader educational activity. Poverty relief is another stated purpose. Its Brooklyn grant to Misc Charities explicitly included help for “needy and poor,” showing that charitable assistance sits alongside school and congregation funding in the same grantmaking stream.
Typical grants cluster in a relatively tight range: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $14,103, and the 75th percentile is $20,525. The foundation’s latest grants show repetition rather than one-off experimentation: Misc Charities appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with purpose language that stays consistent across years. Keren Avrohom Vsoroh Foundation does not fund individuals and is not making program-related investments, so its giving runs through institutional grants rather than direct individual aid or PRI activity. The available record shows no application process details.
