Ideal Applicant
Established charitable organizations (especially health, community services, and Jewish organizations) that match the foundation's past recipients and can be presented via existing relationships or referrals.
Good Fit
- • Work in health care, community services, Jewish community programs, or related social-service fields.
- • Request sizes in the foundation's observed range (roughly a few thousand to mid‑five figures).
- • An existing relationship, previous grantee status, or a warm introduction from a known contact.
- • Located in or connected to the Maryland/DC region, or part of the broader national set of past recipients.
Geography
Grants were made across 22 states in the latest year, though the foundation concentrates roughly a third of dollars in its home state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded about 105 distinct organizations in the latest year with many returning grantees and a modest share of dollars going to the top recipients, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
The foundation states it only funds preselected applicants and the observed pattern shows heavy repeat funding (95 returning recipients) with limited new entrants, so unfamiliar organizations are unlikely to access funds without an invitation or introduction.
