Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized nonprofit organizations working on progressive social justice, reproductive health, voter engagement, environmental conservation, independent public-interest journalism, or cultural/Jewish community work seeking program or general operating support at modest to mid-size award levels.
Good Fit
- • Work aligns with progressive advocacy, voting participation, reproductive rights, environmental action, or public-interest journalism.
- • Request is for program or general operating support rather than individual assistance.
- • Asks are in the typical observed range (roughly $5K–$50K, though occasional larger awards occur).
- • Organization can provide IRS determination letter, budget, financials and board listing as requested.
- • Organization has regional or national scope (the foundation funds across many states).
Geography
The foundation funded organizations across 19 states in the latest year, with out-of-state giving consistently larger than in-state and the largest state receiving roughly 31% of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year included 93 distinct recipients and the three-year history shows similar counts each year, with a mix of returning grantees and many independent organizations rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants is visible (about 36 new recipients in 2024) and the foundation publishes application instructions and deadlines, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio despite occasional invitation-language on the website.
