Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charitable or faith-based organizations—especially Jewish community organizations or local religious institutions—based in Illinois (with occasional out-of-state grantees) seeking one-time donations or support for community services.
Good Fit
- • Clear connection to the local Jewish community or faith-based programming.
- • Located in Illinois or able to demonstrate Illinois impact or ties.
- • Request framed as a general donation or critical resources rather than a competitive program grant.
- • Can be introduced or recommended by a local contact or has visible community credibility.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in Illinois (about 86% of 2024 dollars) with at least one out-of-state grantee in 2024; the latest year shows recipients in two states rather than a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 3 distinct recipients in the latest year (4 in the earlier observed year), with one recurring recipient across years; this indicates a modest but not extensive set of independent grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new recipients exists (two new grantees in 2024) and the filing lists a submission route (general request letter to a named contact), but the foundation has no public website and history is limited, so openness to unfamiliar applicants is plausible but not conclusively broad.
