Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized Jewish or faith-based educational or philanthropic organizations seeking general/unrestricted operating support in the typical award range (~$35K–$120K), or established federations/endowments that serve those communities.
Good Fit
- • Mission focused on Jewish education, religious schooling, or Jewish community philanthropy.
- • Asking for general/unrestricted operating support in the foundation's typical grant size range.
- • Existing relationship or introduction via recognized Jewish federations, endowments, or local community leaders.
- • Located in states that have previously been funded (NY, PA, MN, MD) or able to demonstrate regional relevance.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year span four states (NY, PA, MN, MD) with a majority of dollars going to out-of-state recipients overall, indicating a multi-state footprint rather than a single-city focus.
Recipient Variety
The foundation made between three and six grants per year across the observed years and funded five distinct recipients in the latest year; the recipient set is modest in size but includes independent Jewish educational and philanthropic organizations rather than a single captive beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover in the latest year shows new organizations were added, but the foundation also declares that it only considers preselected applicants and provides no public application portal, so unfamiliar applicants without an introduction are unlikely to get funded through an open submission.
