Ideal Applicant
A New York–anchored nonprofit with demonstrated local credibility in health research, Jewish community institutions, arts, or general community service that fits the foundation's typical single-year grants (roughly mid-teens to low‑forty thousands).
Good Fit
- • Based in New York or clearly serving New York communities.
- • Work in cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes/arthritis research, Jewish institutions, or arts/community services.
- • Established organization with track record and local networks that could produce introductions.
- • Need for general-purpose or program support at grant sizes similar to past awards ($10k–$40k range).
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in the foundation's home state — about 84% of 2024 dollars — but grants also reached two other states (California and Florida), producing a state-level rather than national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded a moderate number of distinct independent recipients each year (16 in 2022, 13 in 2023 and 2024) across health, Jewish, arts and community causes; many grantees are recurring, showing a stable but not tiny portfolio.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited: only two new recipients appeared in 2024 while most grantees returned, and the filings explicitly state the foundation funds only preselected organizations; combined with absence of a public website, this suggests unsolicited applicants have low likelihood of entry.
