N'Ve Shalom Foundation focuses heavily on supporting Sephardic and Orthodox Jewish religious, educational, and cultural institutions, with a particular emphasis on synagogue life, yeshivot, Torah centers, and community cultural centers. Grants also fund Jewish social welfare and emergency/medical services and a small number of Israel-related and defense-support organizations. The foundation tends to favor organizations that serve Sephardic heritage and communal infrastructure across New York-area and affiliated international Sephardic projects.
N've Shalom Foundation Inc. repeatedly backs Sephardic and Orthodox Jewish institutions that anchor communal life: synagogues, yeshivot, Torah centers, and cultural centers. Its recent grants show a pattern of support for organizations that preserve Sephardic heritage while also sustaining education, religious practice, and community services. The largest recent grant in the data went to Morris I Franco Cancer Center in Brooklyn, followed by support for Moise Safra Community Center in New York and Congregation Emanu-el of Westchester in Rye. The foundation’s giving is not limited to one type of institution. It supports educational settings such as Yeshiva Ateret Torah and Sephardic Torah Center, as well as community organizations that serve broader local needs, including Hatzolah Air and The Special Children Center. Internationally, it also gave to American Friends of Shehebar Sephardic Center in Jerusalem. Across the recent-grants list, the same kinds of institutions recur: synagogue life, Torah study, cultural preservation, and Jewish social support.
A core theme is Sephardic religious education. N've Shalom Foundation Inc. gave $10,000 to Sephardic Torah Center in 2024 and another $10,000 in 2025, and it supported Yeshiva Ateret Torah with $8,600 in 2025. Community and congregational life is another clear area. The foundation awarded $15,000 to Congregation Emanu-el of Westchester in Rye, New York, and $6,581 to Synagogue of Deal in Deal, New Jersey, with an additional $5,200 to the same synagogue in 2024. It also funds cultural and heritage institutions. Moise Safra Community Center received $18,000 in 2024, while Sephardic Heritage Museum received $7,000 in 2023. Health and emergency support appear as well, including $25,000 to Morris I Franco Cancer Center and $9,000 to Hatzolah Air.
Typical grant sizes are modest: the 25th percentile is $1,800, the median is $3,600, and the 75th percentile is $5,000. The recent-grants list shows repeated support to the same recipients across multiple years, including Uja Federation of New York, Sephardic Torah Center, The Special Children Center, and Synagogue of Deal. That pattern suggests ongoing relationship-based giving rather than one-time awards. The foundation is an operating private foundation; it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grants shown here are mostly project- or program-level awards, with amounts clustered below $10,000 and a smaller number of larger grants.

Concentrated, repeat support to a core set of faith-based and Sephardic community organizations: multiple smaller-to-midsize grants per grantee rather than few very large multi-year commitments. Geographic focus is local/NY-metro with some ties to Israel and international Sephardic institutions.
