The M & R Horowitz Foundation concentrates its charitable giving on Orthodox Jewish religious institutions in the New York area, providing core operating and program support to synagogues and yeshiva-style schools. Nearly all public grants go to a small set of repeat recipients, indicating a focused, community-oriented philanthropic approach that prioritizes sustaining local religious life and education. The foundation appears to favor traditional religious organizations rather than secular or broadly charitable causes.
Highly concentrated giving: a very small number of relatively large grants directed to repeat grantees, focused on religious institutions; few beneficiaries and repeat payments rather than many small or one-off awards.
M & R Horowitz Foundation Inc gives at a very local, highly concentrated scale, with its largest recent grants going to Orthodox Jewish congregational institutions such as Cong Charaidim. The pattern is not broad or diffuse: the foundation repeatedly supports a small circle of religious organizations, especially synagogues and yeshiva-style schools serving Orthodox Jewish communities in the New York area. Recent grant records show funding for both synagogue life and religious education, with repeated support to the same institutions across multiple years. Cong Charaidim appears more than once in the recent grants list, including a $100,000 grant in 2024 and an $80,000 grant in 2025, while Yeshiva Amod Hatorah received $44,000 in 2023 for religious education. Other recent recipients include Cong Tiferes Elozor, Cong Beer Shmuel, and Chai Lifeline, reinforcing the foundation’s focus on sustaining local Jewish communal infrastructure. The grants are generally modest to mid-sized in the context of the full giving record, but the larger awards show clear support for core institutional needs rather than one-off projects. This is grantmaking centered on continuity within a specific religious community.
The foundation’s giving is most clearly tied to Orthodox synagogue and congregational life. In that area, it awarded $100,000 in 2024 and $80,000 in 2025 to Cong Charaidim, showing a repeated relationship with the same religious institution. It also supported Cong Tiferes Elozor with an $11,000 grant in 2023 and Cong Kehilas Aryeh with $3,000 in 2023. Religious education is another visible theme. Yeshiva Amod Hatorah received $44,000 in 2023, and Yeshiva Yesodei Hatorah received $1,800 in 2024. The foundation also supported Mosdos Bobov and Merkos, both tied to religious communal institutions. Community support organizations appear in the record as well. Chai Lifeline received grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Hatzalah also appears in multiple years, indicating ongoing support for affiliated local services.
Typical grants are small, with a p25 of $100, a median of $180, and a p75 of $500. That distribution sits alongside a few much larger awards, which suggests a two-tier pattern of modest support for many recipients and larger operating-level grants for select institutions. The recent record also shows repeat recipients across multiple years, including Cong Charaidim, Chai Lifeline, Cong Zichron Chaim Bobov, and Hatzalah. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its giving is local and overwhelmingly concentrated in the US, with a strong preference for recurring relationships over one-time awards.
