Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-size organizations whose work aligns with the foundation’s past focus areas (education, health, Jewish community, arts/culture) and that seek modest, one-time grants or program support and have some regional or relationship connection to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Requests are modest in size (typical grants are under $5K–$15K).
- • Programmatic alignment with education, health, arts, or Jewish community causes.
- • Organizational or personal connection to the foundation’s leadership or current grantees.
- • Local presence or proven impact in California (the largest state recipient share) or track record in Illinois/New York for certain causes.
Geography
In the latest year grants were made to recipients in seven states, with significant shares to California, Illinois and New York; the footprint is multi-state rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 39 distinct recipients in the latest year across a wide range of purposes (education, health, arts, Jewish causes and others), indicating a broadly distributed recipient set for that year.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is unavailable because only one year is observed, but the filing explicitly indicates the funder awards grants only to preselected (invited) applicants and there is no public submission route, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to gain entry without a referral or invitation.
