The Fine And Greenwald Foundation
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting a diverse range of causes, including environmental conservation, social justice, health and medical initiatives, and arts and culture. Its mission appears to focus on promoting equity and sustainability, as evidenced by its funding for organizations that address food insecurity, support refugees, and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. The foundation serves various populations and sectors, with a notable emphasis on Jewish organizations and issues affecting Indigenous peoples. It operates primarily in the United States, with significant contributions to both local and national nonprofits.

Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofit organizations working in areas the foundation has repeatedly funded (environment, social justice, health, Jewish causes and related fields) that can be put forward through networks, intermediaries, or existing grantee relationships.
Good Fit
- • Programmatic alignment with environmental, social justice, health, or Jewish organizations that appear frequently in past grants.
- • Presence in priority states such as New York, Florida, or DC where the foundation concentrates funding.
- • Existing partnership or referral relationship with a current or past grantee or an intermediary the foundation uses.
- • Organizational scale and track record consistent with mid‑to‑large grants (many grants in the $10k–$300k range).
Geography
Observed grants span 22 states in the latest year, with major shares in New York, Florida and DC and roughly three-quarters of dollars going out of the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 216 distinct recipients across many program areas and a meaningful flow of new grantees (54 in 2024) alongside 162 returning organizations, indicating a broad institutional portfolio rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
The foundation's public record and application metadata state grants are by preselection only and no open application route or website was found; although new grantees do appear each year, unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to gain entry without nomination or a prior relationship.
