Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid-sized Jewish community, educational, or health nonprofits with an established local or sector relationship to the foundation or to recurring grantees, typically operating in California (with occasional work in New York and other states).
Good Fit
- • Track record in Jewish education, community services, or health programs.
- • Organizational presence or partnerships in California, especially Los Angeles/Malibu area.
- • Existing relationships or referrals from recurring grantees (federation, synagogues, scholarship programs).
- • Capacity to manage awards in the observed $10K–$100K range and occasionally larger grants.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in California (about 68% of 2024 dollars) but grants also went to New York, DC, New Jersey and Massachusetts, with five states represented in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 20 distinct recipients and the foundation distributed 15–20 grantees each year across three observed years, including local Jewish organizations and some national charities; dollar concentration exists (top five received 71%) but many independent recipients are supported.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly indicates it only funds preselected organizations and no public application route or contact details were found; although 6 new grantees appeared in 2024, the declared preselection policy and high rate of returning recipients suggest unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to be admitted without a direct referral or relationship.
