Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized nonprofits working in Holocaust/genocide education, Jewish community initiatives, mental health, or local human services with demonstrated community partnerships and measurable program impact.
Good Fit
- • Work directly related to Holocaust education, Jewish communal life, or related cultural programs.
- • Established programs in Santa Barbara or northern Illinois (regions repeatedly funded).
- • Proposals that request general operating or capacity-building support.
- • Existing relationships or introductions from local community foundations or mutual grantees.
Geography
Observed grants span roughly 16 states in the latest year and the foundation routinely funds out‑of‑state organizations, though a single state accounted for about one third of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows about 58 distinct grantees across many mission areas (education, mental health, food security, human services), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover shows many new grantees in the latest year, but the foundation also documents that it funds only preselected organizations; this suggests new entrants can be added but typically by invitation or nomination rather than through an open competitive application.
