Arthur and Miriam Meisels
/SOURCE OF WEALTH: Real estate owner/investor
FUNDING AREAS: Jewish Causes
OVERVIEW: Arthur Meisels and his wife Miriam move their philanthropy through the A and M Foundation, which gave away $120,000 in a recent year. The foundation’s grantmaking is laser-focused on Jewish causes.
BACKGROUND: Arthur Meisels is a Brooklyn resident and real estate owner. He keeps an exceptionally low profile.
ISSUES:
JEWISH CAUSES: The family largely supports Jewish educational, religious and social service organizations in the greater New York City area. Well over half of all grants stay in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Grantees have included Congregation Atzei Chaim, Congregation Nachlei Emunah, Yeshiva Bais Hillel, Yeshiva Zichron Moshe, Chaim Medical Resource, and Keren Habinyan Bais Rochel, a school in Brooklyn which has received particularly large sums.
LOOKING FORWARD: Expect the couple to stick with their established interest areas.
