Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid local charities (especially Jewish federations, community funds, health/cancer groups, food banks or veteran organizations) that are known to the foundation or its local networks and seeking modest unrestricted support.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a Jewish federation, local community fund, health/cancer charity, food bank, or veterans group.
- • Requests are modest (typically under $10,000) for general operating or community programs.
- • Organization has a prior relationship, referral, or visibility within the foundation’s local networks.
- • Organization operates in one of the states the foundation has recently funded (notably NJ or FL).
Geography
Grants in the latest year reached recipients in eight states, showing a multi-state footprint even though about half of dollars were concentrated in two states.
Recipient Variety
The latest filing shows 17 distinct recipients in 2023 with 13 newly funded organizations that year, indicating a broad and varied recipient set despite dollar concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
Behavior shows many new grantees in the latest year, but the foundation also declares it funds only preselected recipients and offers no public application route, so unfamiliar applicants can sometimes be added but likely via nomination or relationship rather than an open application.
