Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize Jewish religious, educational, or social-service organizations (synagogues, yeshivas, food/assistance programs) operating primarily in New York and nearby states that align with past grant purposes.
Good Fit
- • Programs that provide assistance to the indigent or needy within Jewish communities.
- • Jewish day schools, yeshivas, or other educational-assistance programs.
- • Small operating grants or program support requests in the NY/NJ region.
- • Existing relationship, introduction, or demonstrated connection to trustees or current grantees.
- • Requests at funding levels similar to recent grants (mostly under $25K, with occasional larger awards).
Geography
Grants appear in four states but are heavily concentrated in New York (about 81% of 2024 dollars), with smaller activity in NJ, FL and occasional other states, indicating a regional/state-level focus rather than a broad national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded roughly 17–24 distinct recipients each year and had 21 distinct recipients in the latest year, with a mix of repeat and new grantees, showing a broad set of independent beneficiaries for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows the foundation states it funds only preselected recipients and no public application route or contact details were found; while new grantees have appeared in recent years, unsolicited applicants lack a visible path and are unlikely to enter the portfolio without introductions.
