Ideal Applicant
Jewish education or youth organizations (and scholarship applicants) that support study-in-Israel programs or student scholarships and can meet the published application deadlines.
Good Fit
- • Programs that send or support Jewish American students studying in Israel.
- • Youth movement or national Jewish educational organizations with scholarship or program tracks.
- • Ability to work with the American Zionist Movement or follow its scholarship application process.
- • Projects sized to the foundation’s typical award range (many grants under $5,000, scholarship awards noted between $750–$3,000).
- • Located in New York or serving constituencies that align with national Jewish youth networks.
Geography
Latest-year grants went to recipients in four states, but 71% of grant dollars were concentrated in New York, indicating multi-state reach with a strong New York focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct grantees (multiple independent Jewish youth organizations) and three repeat recipients across the three-year window, so the portfolio is moderately broad though financially concentrated among a few recipients.
New Applicants
A public application page, published deadlines, and an application contact are available and the latest year included several new recipients, so unfamiliar applicants have a clear, plausible entry route; however the filing also notes some grants are designated as preselected, so not all support appears open.
