About Mikvah Usa
Mikvah USA Inc focuses on a single kind of community infrastructure: building and sustaining modern, halachically acceptable mikvaot across North America. The foundation pairs direct financial aid with fundraising help, halachic and technical guidance, education, and ongoing project support, so its work is not limited to writing checks. Recent grants show that approach in practice. In Brooklyn, it made one of its largest awards to Taharusam for ritualarium construction, and it also supported Mill Basin Mikvah Association with multiple construction grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025. Those repeated awards point to long-horizon involvement in facility projects rather than isolated one-time support. The grantee list also includes Chabad-affiliated centers, synagogues, and mikvah associations in places such as Dallas, Riverside, Las Vegas, and Tenafly, indicating that the funder works with local institutions that are building or completing ritual bath projects. Education is part of the model as well through programming intended to increase awareness of taharah and mikvah observance. The overall picture is of a public charity organized around religious infrastructure, community capacity, and practical assistance for communities seeking local mikvah access.
What Mikvah Usa Funds
Construction and completion work is central to the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $298,000 to Chabad of Walnut Creek for ritualarium construction, $240,000 to Mikvah Association of Dallas Inc for the same purpose, and $230,000 to Chabad Jewish Center of Riverside for ritualarium construction. The foundation also supports renovation and repair through capital assistance, reflecting attention to both new builds and existing facilities. Education and outreach are a separate strand of activity. Through the Education Division’s “My Gift of Mikvah” programs, Mikvah USA Inc funds seminars, outreach, and Ladies Auxiliary chapters aimed at increasing awareness of taharah and mikvah observance. That educational work sits alongside infrastructure support rather than replacing it. The result is a grantmaking profile that combines capital project help with community education tied to mikvah use and maintenance.
How Mikvah Usa Gives
Typical grant size sits at $28,600 at the 25th percentile, $65,000 at the median, and $126,001 at the 75th percentile. The recent-grants list also shows multi-year support for the same recipients: Mill Basin Mikvah Association appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Cong Bais Nusen Duvid appears in 2024 and 2025. That pattern suggests ongoing project-based funding rather than a series of unrelated one-off awards. The foundation is a public charity, not a vehicle for individuals or program-related investments. Its active programs indicate that it accepts unsolicited requests in several channels, including construction aid and education-related programming.
