Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit (often California-based) working in community services, health/wellness, education, or Jewish community programming seeking project or program support in the ~$10k–$30k range.
Good Fit
- • Strong program presence or partnerships in California
- • Work in community services, health/wellness, or education
- • Established relationship or referral from an organization already funded by the foundation
- • Requests sized in the mid‑five to mid‑ten thousands (typical grant amounts observed)
- • Organizational profile aligned with Jewish community causes or JCC-style programming
Geography
Grants in the observed years go to recipients in six states (including CA, DC, NY, OK, IL, TX), showing a multi‑state footprint, although about 67% of dollars stayed in California.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded roughly 15–16 distinct organizations per year (16 in the latest year), including both local community groups and national institutions, indicating a broad recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
The foundation declares that it funds only preselected applicants, no public application route or website was found, and the latest year shows zero new recipients, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without an introduction.
