Ideal Applicant
Local Jewish congregations, yeshivas, or small religious-education and community organizations in New York/New Jersey with established local credibility and need for operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a Jewish congregation, yeshiva, or faith-based educational program serving the NY/NJ area.
- • Established local reputation or existing relationship with regional community leaders or trustees.
- • Request size matches observed awards (many grants in the $500–$25,000 band with occasional larger awards).
- • Clear charitable purpose aligned with religious education, congregational support, or local community services.
Geography
Granting is concentrated in two states with the vast majority in New York (about 79% of 2024 dollars), indicating a local/regional footprint centered in NY.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 37 distinct recipients (many small congregations and schools) and high turnover with 28 new recipients in 2024, demonstrating a broad and diverse recipient set despite dollar concentration among the top few grantees.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial new grantees in 2024 (28 new recipients) and three years of activity, which suggests the foundation adds new partners; however the foundation declares it funds only preselected recipients and no public application or contact route is visible, so direct unsolicited entry appears uncertain.
