Ideal Applicant
Established community-based nonprofits (especially Jewish, legal/advocacy, health, or social-service groups) with an existing track record and presence in the foundation’s primary states, seeking general operating support in small-to-midsize amounts.
Good Fit
- • Organization operates in New York or New Jersey, or has programmatic presence there.
- • Mission aligns with past grantees (Jewish community groups, legal aid, health, social services).
- • History of organizational stability and prior grant reporting.
- • Asks for general operating support or modest project funding in the $1K–$50K range.
- • Existing relationship or credible introduction to the family office or trustees.
Geography
Observed grants span roughly a dozen states across three years, indicating multi-state reach, though dollars are concentrated heavily in one primary state (about 48% in the latest year).
Recipient Variety
The latest filings show about 40 distinct recipients in a year with many independent organizations funded across sectors; although many grantees recur, the portfolio is still broad for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants and behavior shows limited turnover (only five new grantees in the latest year and 35 repeat recipients), so unsolicited new entrants appear unlikely to gain support without a direct introduction.
