Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize educational or Jewish community nonprofits, especially faith-based schools and local community organizations operating in New Jersey or nearby New York.
Good Fit
- • Located in New Jersey or nearby New York.
- • Religious or faith-based education and community services focus.
- • Prior or potential relationships with local Jewish institutions or recurring grantees.
- • Budget/request size that fits past grants (a few thousand to low-hundreds of thousands).
Geography
Observed grants are regional, concentrated in New Jersey and New York with about two-thirds of dollars staying in New Jersey; two states received the bulk of funding.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year shows roughly 38 distinct recipients across many independent education and Jewish organizations, so the recipient set is broad even though dollars are somewhat concentrated among top grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (10 new recipients in 2023, 8 in 2024), but the foundation describes grants as to preselected/invited applicants and has no public solicitation route, so new entrants are possible but likely require introductions.
