Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits in health, medical research, cancer or mental-health fields and Jewish community organizations that can be presented via referral or existing relationships; organizations that can absorb grants in the typical range observed (many small awards plus occasional mid-size grants).
Good Fit
- • Clear program alignment with health, cancer, neurological or Jewish community work.
- • A track record of institutional credibility and past grant awards.
- • An existing connection or referral to the trustees, board members, or prior grantees.
- • Capacity to manage one-off awards ranging from a few thousand up to mid-five-figure grants.
Geography
Observed grants spanned 14 states in the latest year with a clear multi-state footprint, though New York and Illinois received the largest shares.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 54 distinct recipients with a mix of many small awards and a few larger grants, and the portfolio includes independent organizations rather than a single controlled beneficiary.
New Applicants
Latest-year data show 20 new recipients, so new entrants do get funded, but the foundation states it funds only preselected applicants and offers no public submission route, making entry likely possible mainly through referrals or relationships.
