Ideal Applicant
Organizations with a clear Ohio presence (especially Cincinnati-area), established local credibility, seeking general operating support or modest unrestricted grants; Jewish community organizations, health, animal welfare, and community service groups fit the observed pattern.
Good Fit
- • Based in or serving Ohio, particularly Cincinnati or surrounding communities.
- • Alignment with Jewish community causes, health, animal welfare, education, or broad community service.
- • Requests for general operating support or modest unrestricted grants.
- • An existing local reputation or referral from a known grantee or community intermediary.
- • Willingness to submit a written request and to build a direct relationship with the foundation’s named contact.
Geography
Grants appear in 15 states, but giving is heavily concentrated in Ohio (79% of dollars in 2024), so the footprint is primarily state-focused with occasional out-of-state awards.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 89 distinct recipients and the foundation has distributed dozens of small grants annually across multiple sectors, showing a broad and diverse recipient set despite financial concentration in a few top grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (15 new recipients in 2024 and 22 in 2023) but a large share of dollars goes to repeat grantees; a written-request submission route is provided, so new entrants can plausibly be admitted but selection appears relationship-influenced.
