About Chabad on Campus International
Chabad on Campus International Inc concentrates its giving on Jewish student life through Chabad Houses and campus-based learning programs. Its recent grants show a mix of direct support for campus communities and larger allocations to educational and communal infrastructure, including $849,003 to the Jewish Learning Institute in Brooklyn and $531,908 to Federation of Jewish Comm CIS in New York. The organization also backs campus-centered Chabad Houses across the United States, such as Chabad at the University of Arizona in Tucson and Chabad at University of Central Florida in Orlando. The foundation’s stated purpose is to support the vibrancy and growth of Jewish student life on campus through the sustainability and success of Chabad Houses worldwide. That mission is reflected in grants to undergraduate-serving centers, university Chabad Houses, and related Jewish education groups. The grant list also includes support for Jewish awareness, suggesting a funding profile that combines campus religious life, educational enrichment, and community-building for college students. With annual grants of $12,164,605 and a national geographic scope, the foundation operates as a regular funder with a consistent institutional focus on Jewish campus life.
What Chabad on Campus International Funds
Jewish student life is the central thread in the foundation’s recent giving. A $170,507 grant to Chabad at the University of Arizona in Tucson and a $145,056 grant to Chabad at University of Central Florida in Orlando both support campus-based Jewish community and programming. Jewish education appears in both grant programs and general grantmaking. The Study Away Grant provides travel subsidies for students in immersive Jewish learning programs, with support for travel within North America and to Israel. The Sinai Scholars Society offers an eight-week fellowship with Judaic coursework, campus programming, and a stipend for students who complete the requirements. Campus community building also shows up in grants such as $130,092 to Chabad of the Undergrads in State College and $127,882 to The Chabad House at Brandeis in Waltham. These grants point to a pattern of funding local campus institutions that combine religious learning, student engagement, and Jewish cultural life.
How Chabad on Campus International Gives
Typical grant sizes are modest relative to the largest awards: the p25 is $10,518, the median is $16,935, and the p75 is $29,784. Recent grants also include a small set of much larger awards, suggesting a layered approach that combines broad institutional support with targeted major grants. The foundation is a regular funder rather than a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The recent list shows repeated support for some recipients across years, including Federation of Jewish Communities of the CIS and Chabad at University of Central Florida, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. It also operates active grant programs with published parameters, including Study Away Grant and Sinai Scholars Society, both of which accept unsolicited applications.
