Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized nonprofit (often New York-based) seeking modest general operating or special-project grants and with an existing relationship or local credibility.
Good Fit
- • Organization serves New York communities or has a local NY presence.
- • Work aligns with arts/culture, Jewish community services, health, or general community supports.
- • Needs modest unrestricted or special-project support (typical awards under $10k).
- • Can be introduced by a current grantee, trustee, or local intermediary.
- • Has a documented track record and capacity to use a one-time or annual small grant.
- • Has prior or existing relationship with the foundation or its network.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached organizations in 13 states (a multi-state footprint), though about two-thirds of dollars were concentrated in New York.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 93 distinct recipients across multiple mission areas (arts, Jewish organizations, health, social services), indicating a broad recipient set despite financial concentration in-state.
New Applicants
The foundation states it only funds preselected organizations and no public submission route was found; behavior shows 12 new grantees in 2023 but a high returning-recipient rate (81 of 93), so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without a referral.
