Ideal Applicant
A small or mid-sized Maryland-based nonprofit doing community services (homelessness, Jewish community programs, education, health/cancer support) that seeks modest, short-term operating or program support and can be introduced through local networks.
Good Fit
- • Located in Maryland or serving Maryland communities.
- • Mission aligns with prior grantees (homeless services, Jewish community organizations, local education or health support).
- • Seeks relatively small grants (hundreds to low thousands).
- • Has an existing relationship or referral into the foundation’s local network or through recurring grantees.
Geography
Giving is regionally focused: about 59% of 2024 dollars went to Maryland, but grants in 2024 also went to New York and Illinois (three states total).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct recipients with six new grantees and five recurring across years, indicating a moderate spread of independent beneficiaries even though the top five captured most dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows the foundation states it funds only preselected applicants and there is no public application route; although several new recipients appear in filings, the invitation-only policy and repeat relationships make it unlikely unfamiliar applicants can readily enter the portfolio.
