Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized nonprofits aligned with cancer research, Jewish community causes, Holocaust/human-rights work, or humanitarian aid that can manage modest grants and have or can develop a direct referral to the trustees or their network.
Good Fit
- • Clear program alignment with cancer research or Jewish organizational missions.
- • Existing relationship or a referral to one of the trustees or known grantees.
- • Ability to use relatively small awards (amounts historically under $1,000–$1,000s).
- • Track record as an established nonprofit (some prior grantees are national Jewish and research organizations).
Geography
Grants have gone to organizations in multiple states (five states observed in 2022, two states in 2023) and are paid to out-of-state recipients; the most recent year was heavily concentrated in New York (about 79% of 2023 dollars).
Recipient Variety
The funder supported eight distinct recipients in 2022 but only two in 2023, with a single repeat grantee across the two years; this indicates a moderate but variable recipient set rather than a large open portfolio.
New Applicants
The foundation declares it funds only preselected applicants and no public website or contact details were found; while one new recipient appeared in the latest year, the visible access path is invitation-driven and not open to general unsolicited applications.
