Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized Jewish or faith-based community organizations located in New York—especially congregations, yeshivas, and local Jewish service groups with visible local ties.
Good Fit
- • Organizational programs or institutions that serve Jewish religious or community needs in New York.
- • An established local presence or relationship in the Lawrence/Long Island/New York ecosystem.
- • Funding requests in the modest range (several thousand dollars) for program support or community operations.
- • Clear, concise requests sent via the listed mailing address or a direct phone inquiry to a named trustee.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went exclusively to organizations in New York, and across the three-year record giving is overwhelmingly in NY (in-state share ~100% in 2024).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded multiple independent recipients each year (7, 8, and 5 distinct grantees across 2022–2024), which indicates a moderately diverse recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows several new grantees in the latest year (four new recipients among five grantees), but the foundation states grants are to preselected recipients and there is no public application portal, so entrance appears possible but primarily relationship-driven.
