Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charitable organizations (often arts, Jewish community, or health-related) with ties to New York or Palm Beach-area communities and realistic request sizes in the low-thousands.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York (primary) or Palm Beach/Florida (secondary).
- • Work in arts/culture, Jewish community institutions, or health/mental-health causes.
- • Request sizes in the typical grant range (~$1k–$10k).
- • Existing relationship or referral from a trustee, past grantee, or local philanthropic connector.
- • Clear charitable mission and demonstrable local/community impact.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in one state (about 71% in the latest year) with a secondary presence in Florida; the observed footprint spans two states but is regionally focused rather than national.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad set of independent recipients (18 distinct recipients in 2023) and multiple new grantees across years, indicating a diverse recipient portfolio for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows many first-time grantees (11 new recipients in 2023 and heavy new-recipient activity in 2022), but the foundation also states it funds only preselected organizations and provides no public application channel, so entry for unfamiliar applicants likely depends on referrals rather than an open application process.
