The Burton P & Judith B Resnick Foundation
The organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting various charitable purposes. Its mission emphasizes contributions to Jewish organizations, arts and culture, museums, and health-related charities, reflecting a commitment to community service and cultural preservation. The foundation primarily serves organizations that promote Jewish culture, support the arts, and provide health services, with notable grants awarded to institutions such as the UJA Federation of New York and Carnegie Hall Society. While its activities are concentrated in New York, it also supports initiatives beyond the state, including contributions to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Ideal Applicant
Established New York-based charities in arts, Jewish community organizations, museums, or higher-education/medical institutions with existing relationships or visibility to the foundation's trustees or intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York state (especially NYC) or serving the NY Jewish community
- • Established cultural, museum, or medical institution with proven track record
- • Existing relationships or endorsements from intermediaries the foundation has previously funded (e.g., UJA or major cultural institutions)
- • Capacity to absorb mid-to-large one-time grants (tens to hundreds of thousands)
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in one state: roughly 96% of dollars went to New York, with only very small amounts to DC and MD.
Recipient Variety
Twelve distinct independent charities received grants each year, including arts, Jewish organizations, museums, and medical colleges, but funding is concentrated among a few large recipients.
New Applicants
Across two observed years the same 12 organizations were funded and the foundation documents that it only funds preselected recipients, so direct evidence points to an invitation-only pattern rather than open solicitation.
