Ideal Applicant
A small New York-based Jewish congregation or faith-based community organization seeking modest, one-time charitable support and connected by local relationships or referrals.
Good Fit
- • Local (New York) synagogue or Jewish community organization.
- • Requests in the small-grant range (roughly $1–2K).
- • Clear alignment with congregational or religious charitable purposes.
- • An existing relationship or referral from local community leaders or previous grantees.
Geography
In the latest year all observed grants were made within New York state, indicating a tightly local geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only two distinct recipients, both congregations; with a single year of data the observed recipient set is small and appears narrowly focused.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is unavailable due to only one year of data, and the foundation explicitly marks funding as limited to preselected applicants, which together suggest unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio.
