The Malchus Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on Orthodox Jewish religious life and education, primarily funding yeshivas, kollels, and a synagogue affiliated with the Sanz community. Grants are large and targeted, often made repeatedly to the same institutions, indicating sustained support for core community religious infrastructure and rabbinic study. The foundation’s giving is highly concentrated geographically and institutionally rather than broadly distributed across causes.
A concentrated portfolio of a few very large grants, with multiple repeat grants to the same core religious institutions rather than many small or diversified awards.
The Malchus Foundation’s recent giving is defined by repeated large unrestricted grants to Orthodox Jewish religious and educational institutions, especially Sanz-linked organizations and kollels. The foundation backed Kolel Bais Brauch Sanz Gribov with $1,625,000 in 2023 and $1,402,665 in 2025, and also supported Yeshivas Sanz with $1,450,000 in 2024 and $350,000 in 2025. That pattern points to sustained support for advanced Torah study and the institutions around it rather than one-time project funding. Its grant list also shows recurring support for community infrastructure tied to that ecosystem. Yad Elka Inc received $1,250,000 in 2025 after a $695,000 grant in 2024, while Kollel Shabbos Kodesh (Karnoh Shel Torah) received $654,500 in 2025 after $600,000 in both 2024 and 2023. Similar repeat grants appear across several recipient organizations, suggesting long-term institutional backing. The grants are generally unrestricted, which gives recipients flexibility in how they use the funds.
A central theme in the foundation’s giving is advanced Torah study. It gave $1,402,665 in 2025 to Kolel Bais Brauch Sanz Gribov and $654,500 in 2025 to Kollel Shabbos Kodesh (Karnoh Shel Torah), both unrestricted awards that support kollel activity. Another clear cause area is support for yeshivas. Yeshivas Sanz received $1,450,000 in 2024 and $350,000 in 2025, showing continued backing for religious education within the Sanz community. The foundation also funds neighborhood congregations and related Jewish communal institutions. It granted $1,050,000 in 2025 to Congregation Olam Hatora and $317,000 in 2025 to Congregation Khal Sokolov, both unrestricted. In addition, National Association of Hebrew Day Schools received $385,000 in 2024 and $360,000 in 2025.
Typical grant sizes cluster at the upper end of the foundation’s stated range: the 25th percentile is $25,000, the median is $50,000, and the 75th percentile is $127,500. The recent-grants list, however, shows many awards well above that median, with several six- and seven-figure grants. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off. Multiple recipients appear in more than one year, including Kolel Bais Brauch Sanz Gribov, Yeshivas Sanz, Yad Elka Inc, Kollel Shabbos Kodesh (Karnoh Shel Torah), Tova Uvrucha, Tzur Foundation, and Chaim Vchesed Inc. Grants are repeatedly marked unrestricted, indicating flexible use rather than tightly earmarked project funding. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
