This is a small, local family foundation that concentrates its giving in the Baltimore/Pikesville area, primarily supporting Jewish religious institutions and local healthcare. Grants are few but relatively sizable for the foundation’s scale, and the foundation shows a preference for established community organizations (including repeat support for Sinai Hospital). Its giving emphasizes faith-based community services and hospital/general health support rather than a broad national portfolio.
Concentrated, small-number giving: a handful of moderate-sized grants per cycle with some repeat funding to core local grantees rather than many small or national grants.
Lapidus-corenblum Foundation Inc. directs most of its recent giving to Jewish communal institutions and Baltimore-area health care, with Sinai Hospital as a recurring beneficiary and Associated Jewish Charities among the larger recipients. The foundation’s grant list also includes Orthodox Jewish educational and religious institutions such as Yeshuva Gedolah Ohr Ha Torah, Yeshivas Toras Simcha, and Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore, showing a steady pattern of support for faith-based community infrastructure rather than broad issue diversification. Its recent awards range from four- and five-figure gifts to much smaller grants, suggesting a mix of anchor support and modest assistance across local organizations. The portfolio points to a family foundation style of giving centered on established community groups. Baltimore organizations dominate the list, but the foundation also makes selective grants outside the city, including to Chabad and Jewish education organizations in other U.S. locations. The pattern is highly concentrated in religious charitable services, religious education, congregational programs, and clergy-oriented support, with health care appearing alongside those Jewish communal priorities. Across the recent grants file, the foundation favors organizations that serve local religious life, schools, and community services.
A major theme in the recent grants is support for Jewish religious and educational institutions in Baltimore. The foundation gave $22,750 to Yeshuva Gedolah Ohr Ha Torah in 2024 and made additional grants to Yeshivas Toras Simcha, Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore, and Beth El Congregation, all pointing to backing for schools and congregational life. It also funds Jewish communal and outreach organizations. Associated Jewish Charities received $25,000 in 2024 and $8,950 in 2023, while grants to Chabad of Indiana University, Chabad Downtown, Chabad House at John Hopkins, and Chabad of University of Miami show support for campus and local outreach work. Health care is another clear strand. Sinai Hospital received $44,058 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024, indicating ongoing support for a major Baltimore medical institution. Smaller grants to Goucher College and Ne Miles Jewish Day School show that the foundation also extends into education beyond strictly religious settings.

The foundation is a private family foundation style funder rather than an individual giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments.
