Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑sized New York-based religious or Jewish community charities (yeshivas, congregations, local faith-based programs) seeking modest grants in the $1K–$25K range and with local community credibility.
Good Fit
- • Organization located in New York, especially Brooklyn/Monsey/Rockland County areas.
- • Religious or Jewish community mission aligned with charitable/educational purposes.
- • Request size matches recent awards (small to mid-range grants).
- • Existing local relationships or endorsements from past grantees or community leaders.
Geography
All observed grants across the available years were made to recipients in New York state, indicating a narrowly local geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 10 distinct recipients and the earlier filing shows 5, with only two repeats across years—about thirteen unique organizations funded across the two observed years—so the portfolio funds many independent local charities despite some dollar concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows eight new recipients in the latest year, so new entrants have been funded, but the foundation states grants are by preselection and no public application portal or contact details were found, making open access plausible but not straightforward.
