Friends of Chabad of the Dominican Republic, Inc.

Friends of Chabad of the Dominican Republic, Inc. is a U.S.-based public charity (registered as a 501(c)(3)) organized in 2017 and based in Brooklyn, NY. The organization’s primary purpose is fundraising in the United States to sustain Chabad-led religious, educational and community activities serving Jewish residents, expatriates and visitors in the Dominican Republic.

The group operates as a donor-facing fundraising affiliate (no salaried employees reported on recent filings) that collects contributions in the U.S. and directs financial support toward Chabad programming and presence in the Dominican Republic. Recent IRS Form 990 filings show the organization’s revenues in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars in the last 2–3 years, with contributions comprising the vast majority of receipts.

Friends of Chabad of the Dominican maintains regular public tax filings (Form 990 series) through 2024, enabling transparency about revenue, expenses and governing board members. The organization functions chiefly as a funding conduit to sustain Chabad activities (holiday programming, education, community services and kosher/visitor support) across locations in the Dominican Republic.
