Where we give
Rafi Toledano | Philanthropies strengthens the people, Shuls and institutions at the heart of our community.
Why we give
Rafi Toledano | Philanthropies is guided by the Jewish values of Chesed and Tzedakah and gives to people of every background: strengthening the shul at the heart of our community, advancing cancer research and care, helping families find a home, and carrying students through to graduation.
Rafi Toledano | Philanthropies is the charitable foundation of Rafi Toledano, Founder and CEO of Sorrento Property Group and Founding Trustee and Vice Chairman of Hachaim Vehashalom.
Four values that guide every gift
Notable causes
Hachaim Vehashalom
Nonstop Minyanim in Cedarhurst, New York. Rafi Toledano | Philanthropies has supported the shul since it began as a basement minyan in Far Rockaway, and Rafi Toledano serves as its Founding Trustee and Vice Chairman.
A minyan is where a community gathers, prays and looks after one another. Supporting it is the foundation of everything else we do.
American Cancer Society
Rafi Toledano | Philanthropies supports the American Cancer Society’s work in cancer research, patient care and support for families.
Each year we take part in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Central Park, with Sorrento Property Group leading the fundraising through its company team.
Habitat for Humanity
A safe, stable home is where opportunity begins. Rafi Toledano | Philanthropies supports Habitat for Humanity’s work helping families build and improve the homes they live in.
Closer to home, individuals and families in need can apply for discounted apartments at Sorrento Property Group communities, and Sorrento offers military and veteran discounts at all of its properties.
USF Scholarship
The Rafi Toledano | Philanthropies scholarship at the University of South Florida helps students take the next step toward a degree.
Jewish tradition places learning at the center of life. Through our college scholarship program, awards are paid directly to the student’s college or university.
