Ideal Applicant
Established small-to-midsize charities seeking general operating support, especially organizations aligned with food security, health, education, youth, or Jewish-community causes and with an existing relationship or introduction into the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Organization provides direct operating support services in food security, health, education, youth development, or Jewish community work.
- • Organization is located in or serves Pennsylvania (Philadelphia area) or has a prior connection to the foundation’s trustees or advising bank.
- • Request size matches the foundation’s typical grants (a few thousand dollars up to about $11k) and is for unrestricted/operating support.
- • The organization has an existing or recent relationship with the foundation (previous grantee, referred, or known to trustees).
Geography
Grants were paid to organizations in 13 different states in the latest year, though a majority of dollars (about 57%) went to organizations in Pennsylvania.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 39 distinct recipients across multiple sectors (food banks, health, education, Jewish organizations, youth), with modest top-five share (about 31%), indicating a broad recipient set for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Across three years the portfolio is heavily repeat-driven (35 returning recipients in 2024) and the foundation metadata states it funds only preselected organizations; new recipients are infrequent (about 10% in 2024), so unsolicited new applicants would have low likelihood of entry.
