Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofit organizations in arts and culture, Jewish community institutions, education, or health with project-focused requests and either a Florida connection or a clear record of impact at a regional/national level.
Good Fit
- • Project requests framed concisely and suitable for a single-letter submission
- • Mission alignment with arts, Jewish community, education, or health initiatives
- • An existing relationship, referral, or prior receipt of small grants
- • Organizational capacity to absorb grants in the $5K–$250K range
Geography
The latest year shows grants across about a dozen states (12 distinct states) with Florida receiving roughly one-third of dollars but a majority of funding going out-of-state, indicating a multi-state/national footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 152 grants to 152 distinct recipients spanning arts, Jewish organizations, education, health, and community services, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new entrants (about 30 new recipients in 2024) alongside many repeat grantees, but the foundation also states it funds by preselection and lacks a website, so while new applicants do appear, the pathway is selective and not fully open.
