Jade Foundation
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting various charitable causes, primarily in the health sector. Its mission appears to focus on funding health-related initiatives, including cancer research, Alzheimer's support, and other health charities, as evidenced by its grants to organizations like the American Heart Association and the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation. The foundation also supports mental health initiatives, such as The Art Therapy Project, and has a connection to Jewish community organizations. While it primarily funds projects in New York, its charitable activities reflect a broader commitment to enhancing health and well-being across multiple sectors.

Ideal Applicant
A New York–based nonprofit (often health, medical research, therapeutic arts, or local community organizations) seeking a straightforward, unrestricted grant and able to apply via a short mailed letter describing intended use of funds.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York (especially Long Island/Plainview area) or clear local program presence.
- • Mission aligned with health, medical research, therapeutic arts, or local community/Jewish institutions.
- • A concise, specific funding request that explains use of unrestricted funds.
- • Willingness to submit a letter request and to cultivate a local or personal relationship.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in New York: the latest year shows all grants went to NY recipients, and historically almost all dollars were in-state with only minimal out‑of‑state giving.
Recipient Variety
Across three years the foundation funded a moderate number of distinct independent recipients (19 in 2022, 15 in 2023, 8 in 2024) with several repeat grantees, indicating a moderately broad but partially recurring portfolio.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (eight new recipients in 2023 and one new in 2024) and the foundation publishes a letter-submission route, but there is no public online application process and recent giving shows increased concentration, so new applicants appear plausible but not clearly encouraged.
