Ideal Applicant
Established organizations or intermediaries whose work aligns with the foundation's priorities (American democracy, Israel/Jewish continuity, free-market policy, national security, LGBT equality, and health-care innovation), and that can be identified or endorsed through networks or intermediaries rather than by unsolicited application.
Good Fit
- • Clear programmatic alignment with the foundation's stated priority areas.
- • Organizational stature or recognition that would prompt proactive outreach or referral (large nonprofits, national intermediaries, or Jewish communal institutions).
- • Existing relationships or introductions from trusted intermediaries or community leaders.
- • Capacity to manage larger, strategic or pass-through grants.
Geography
Recent grants were made across nine states, showing a multi-state footprint, although one state received the dominant share of dollars due to a very large payment.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 54 distinct recipients with a majority (32) new that year, indicating a broad recipient set in count even though dollars are heavily concentrated among a few large grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of many new recipients suggests the portfolio can add unfamiliar organizations, but the foundation publicly states it does not accept unsolicited proposals and only funds preselected organizations, so entry likely requires proactive outreach, referrals, or intermediary channels rather than open applications.
