Ideal Applicant
A New York–based faith or community nonprofit—often Jewish congregations, local education programs, or small community service organizations—seeking program or operating support at modest-to-midsize grant levels.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York (especially Spring Valley/Monsey/Brooklyn area).
- • Mission aligns with religious, Jewish community, or local educational purposes.
- • Request size matches observed awards (typical median around $15K; some awards up to six figures).
- • Has or can demonstrate local relationships or endorsements from organizations in the foundation’s community.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in New York—about 97% of dollars went to NY recipients in recent years, with only two other states receiving trace shares.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded roughly two dozen distinct organizations each year (22–27 recipients), with a meaningful mix of repeat and new grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of access: 10 new recipients appeared in the latest year (about 37% new), the foundation is not only preselected, and a letter/phone submission route is documented, so unfamiliar local applicants plausibly can enter the portfolio.
