Ideal Applicant
A New York-based religious or faith‑based educational organization (often congregations or small Jewish educational institutions) seeking modest to mid-sized project or operating support.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York (Brooklyn-heavy footprint).
- • Mission clearly framed as religious or religious‑educational.
- • Able to submit a concise mailed letter describing the purpose of the request.
- • Request size consistent with prior grants (many gifts under $5K, some up to ~$10K–$20K).
Geography
Observed giving is entirely in one state (New York), with many recipients located in Brooklyn, indicating a local in‑state footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 22 distinct grantees (15 in the prior year) across multiple independent congregations and organizations, with a majority of recipients in 2022 being new to the portfolio.
New Applicants
Direct evidence from the latest year shows 18 new recipients out of 22, and the foundation posts a clear submission requirement (a letter) with a named trustee and phone number, which together suggest unfamiliar applicants can gain entry.
