Ideal Applicant
A New York–area nonprofit with an established relationship or prior connection to the foundation's leadership, especially Jewish, health, cultural, or community-service organizations consistent with prior grantees.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York or serving the New York Jewish community.
- • Programmatic alignment with health, Jewish community support, museums/cultural institutions, or community service.
- • An existing relationship or introduction to a named officer or past grantee.
- • Reasonable budget scale consistent with past grants (small-to-mid sized awards).
Geography
Giving is concentrated in New York with some out-of-state grants in earlier years; 2022 grants were two-thirds in NY and 2023 giving was over 90% in NY, indicating a local/state-level footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 11 distinct recipients in 2022 and 4 distinct recipients in 2023, showing a modestly diverse recipient set for a micro private foundation, though overall scale is small.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it only funds preselected recipients and there is no public website or visible submission route; based on those access cues and observed behavior, unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to enter the portfolio without an invitation or introduction.
