Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized nonprofit community or faith-based organizations (notably Jewish organizations) seeking general operating support and that can be introduced or identified through trustee networks or intermediaries.
Good Fit
- • Organizational mission aligns with prior recipients (Jewish community, religious institutions, community service).
- • Requests framed as general support rather than tightly restricted project grants.
- • Visible connection or introduction to a trustee, officer, or trusted intermediary.
- • Presence in states the funder has recently supported (NJ, FL, NY, OH).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year span four states (OH, FL, NJ, NY) with out-of-state giving predominating; the footprint is multi-state rather than strictly local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows five distinct grantees and an earlier year shows nine distinct grantees, and most grants are to independent charities rather than affiliated entities, indicating a moderate diversity of recipients for a micro foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected applicants and no public application route was found; although many recent grantees were new recipients, the selection appears invitation-driven rather than open to unsolicited applicants.
