Kupas Yom Tov Inc. is a highly concentrated Orthodox Jewish charity focused on supporting kollel/yeshiva life and communal charity in the Lakewood/New Jersey Orthodox ecosystem. The vast majority of dollars flow to a single large kollel fund, with the remainder directed to tzeddakah funds, congregations, and support organizations that aid needy families and avreichim (married Torah scholars). Grants are typically labeled generically as "charity," but grantee names indicate religious/communal relief and institutional support priorities.
Kupas Yom Tov Inc. centers its giving on Orthodox Jewish communal life, with a dominant pattern of support for kollel and yeshiva-related institutions in the Lakewood area. The largest recent grants all went to Bma Kollel Fund, including $1,822,000 in 2025, $1,736,000 in 2024, and $1,820,045 in 2023, showing a sustained commitment to the same recipient over multiple years. Beyond that core relationship, the foundation also supports local charity funds, congregations, and avreichim-focused assistance groups that serve married Torah scholars and needy families. The grant list suggests a funder that works through straightforward charitable support rather than specialized program categories. A single large institutional beneficiary receives the bulk of dollars, while smaller grants extend to community relief organizations and synagogue-related entities in New Jersey and nearby New York communities. That mix points to a foundation focused on maintaining religious study infrastructure and basic communal welfare within a tightly defined Orthodox network. Leadership is listed under Yechiel M Reidler, and the foundation’s grantmaking remains regional rather than national or international. All recent grants in the file went to U.S. recipients.
A central theme in Kupas Yom Tov Inc.’s giving is support for advanced Torah study. The foundation made repeated large grants to Bma Kollel Fund, including $1,822,000 in 2025 and $1,736,000 in 2024, indicating that kollel support is a core part of its charitable activity. Community relief is another visible focus. In 2023, Kupas Yom Tov Inc. gave $80,000 to Ozer Dalim in Brooklyn for charity, and it also supported Gates of Mercy in Lakewood with $25,000 the same year. Those recipients point to aid for families and local relief efforts within Orthodox communities. The foundation also funds organizations tied to married Torah scholars and local institutions. It gave $10,000 to Keren Ezras Avreichim in Lakewood, plus grants to Congregation Zichron Moshe in Lakewood in both 2023 and 2024, reflecting support for community infrastructure as well as direct assistance.
Typical grants range from $8,050 at the 25th percentile to $18,210 at the median and $66,250 at the 75th percentile, but the recent file also includes a very large outlier tied to the foundation’s main kollel beneficiary. The same recipient appears across multiple years, which points to recurring support rather than one-off giving. The organization funds only grants, not individuals, and it does not make program-related investments. The grant records show a simple charitable structure with payments labeled as charity rather than formal program applications or competitive awards.

Kupas Yom Tov Inc.’s giving is heavily concentrated in New Jersey. Seventy percent of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and New Jersey is also the top state by grant count. Lakewood appears repeatedly, including Bma Kollel Fund, Tiferes Naftali, Gates of Mercy, Keren Ezras Avreichim, and Congregation Zichron Moshe. Outside New Jersey, the foundation has also funded recipients in Brooklyn and Monsey, both in New York. All recent grants in the file went to U.S. recipients.
The clearest pattern is support for kollel and yeshiva life, especially through repeated large grants to Bma Kollel Fund. It also funds Orthodox communal relief groups, avreichim assistance, and local congregations such as Congregation Zichron Moshe in Lakewood.
No. In the recent grants list, all 12 grants went to U.S. recipients, with beneficiaries in New Jersey and New York.
The grant-size distribution is $8,050 at the 25th percentile, $18,210 at the median, and $66,250 at the 75th percentile. The file also shows very large institutional grants far above the median, including multi-million-dollar awards to Bma Kollel Fund.
It shows recurring support. Bma Kollel Fund appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Congregation Zichron Moshe appears in both 2023 and 2024. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships with selected recipients.
