Ideal Applicant
A small or regional nonprofit working in health care, Jewish community services, human services, animal welfare, or education seeking modest discretionary support and either a local connection or a personal introduction.
Good Fit
- • Project or operating needs in health, Jewish community services, or local human services.
- • Request size in the low-thousands range (roughly $1k–$6k).
- • A local or regional presence in Pennsylvania or Delaware, or a clear connection to foundation leadership.
- • Ability to supply a short, focused letter of request and follow up by phone or in-person contact.
- • A track record as a registered charity with clear use for unrestricted support.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to four states, with Pennsylvania receiving nearly half of the dollars and Delaware a substantial share, indicating a regional rather than purely local footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eleven distinct independent recipients and eight new grantees, indicating a fairly broad recipient set for a micro private foundation despite some dollar concentration among the top five.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows many new grantees in 2023, but the foundation also declares it funds only preselected applicants and has no public website; openness to unfamiliar applicants therefore appears possible but selective.
