The Bandier Family Foundation Incorporated
The organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting a variety of causes, with a notable emphasis on Jewish organizations, arts and culture, and education. Its mission appears to center around providing general support to nonprofits that contribute to community service, health initiatives, and cultural preservation. The foundation serves a diverse range of recipients, including educational institutions, cultural organizations, and health charities. While it primarily operates in New York, it also extends its support to organizations in other states, reflecting a broader commitment to charitable giving.

Ideal Applicant
Organizations with strong New York ties (especially in education, arts/culture, or Jewish community causes) and existing relationships or introductions into the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Clear operational or mission overlap with past grantees (higher education, arts, Jewish organizations).
- • Established presence or programs in New York state.
- • Existing relationship or warm introduction to the foundation’s leaders or board.
- • Capacity to accept general operating support and occasional mid-to-large unrestricted gifts.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in New York—about 81% of 2023 dollars—although smaller awards touched organizations in seven additional states; overall the footprint is strongly New York–focused.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 30 distinct recipients (30 grants) with 18 new organizations in 2023 and 12 repeat grantees across the two observed years, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set despite dollar concentration among a few large awards.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly declares it only funds preselected applicants, which strongly limits unsolicited entry; while 18 new recipients appeared in 2023, those additions appear to arise from the foundation’s selection process rather than an open application pathway.
