Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize Jewish or faith-based community organization, preferably with a New Jersey connection, seeking general operating or program support in the modest grant range.
Good Fit
- • Organizational mission aligned with Jewish or faith-based local community services.
- • Located in or serving New Jersey (or the broader NY/NJ metro) or able to demonstrate local partnerships.
- • Asking for general operating or modest program support consistent with past grant sizes ($1K–$40K).
- • Introduced by or partnered with a local leader or previous grantee.
Geography
Grants span five states in the latest year, but about 70% of dollars stayed in New Jersey, indicating a primarily state/regional focus with some out-of-state giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 21 distinct recipients with 13 new grantees and 8 returning recipients, demonstrating a relatively broad and independent recipient set despite some concentration in top awards.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of openness includes 13 new recipients in 2023 plus an explicit rolling application path and a named phone/address for submissions, so unfamiliar applicants plausibly can enter the portfolio.
