Sephardic Home For The Aged Foundation
The Sephardic Foundation on Aging (originally the Sephardic Home for the Aged) is a New York-based foundation that funds programs to support older adults, with priorities including dementia care, end-of-life care, and combating social isolation. The site describes an annual LOI-based grant cycle and directs applicants to an online Submittable application system.

Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit serving older adults (dementia care, end-of-life care, social isolation reduction), with clear programmatic fit and readiness to submit a Letter of Inquiry through Submittable.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on dementia care, end-of-life support, or reducing social isolation among seniors.
- • Organizational capacity to complete an LOI and follow a two-stage review (LOI → invited full application).
- • Demonstrated service or presence in New York state or strong statewide/regional impact.
- • Established nonprofit status and track record of measurable senior-focused program outcomes.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in 16 states, though about 61% of dollars were directed to New York; overall footprint is multi-state rather than purely local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 61 distinct grantees with 45 first-time recipients, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
There is a clear public LOI application routed through Submittable and the latest year included a high number of new grantees (45), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
