Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit working in religious/Jewish causes, Israel-focused education or policy research, or occasional arts/veterans programming, seeking grants in the $10k–$50k range and having some existing visibility or connections to the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligned to Jewish religious activities, Israel-related causes, or policy research.
- • Project budget and ask size in the mid-five-figure range.
- • Located or operating in states the foundation has recently funded (VA, FL, NY).
- • Existing relationships or introductions to board members or prior grantees.
Geography
Recent giving spanned three states in the latest year, but was concentrated: about 63% of 2024 dollars went to recipients in one state (Virginia), so footprint is multi-state but regionally focused.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows four distinct recipients across six grants and the three-year record shows different recipients each year, indicating a moderate spread of independent grantees for a small foundation despite high dollar concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation documents that grants are to preselected recipients and provides no public contact or mailed submission route; although new organizations appear year-to-year, the preselection policy and opaque contact mechanics make it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant can reliably enter the portfolio.
