Ideal Applicant
A California-based 501(c)(3), especially organizations serving the Jewish community or local human services in the Los Angeles area, seeking modest to mid-size one-time grants or recurring small grants.
Good Fit
- • Located in California (preferably Los Angeles) with demonstrated community service or Jewish‑community mission.
- • 501(c)(3) status and capacity to submit a mailed letter by the December 1 deadline.
- • Accepts modest single-year grants and can make the case for local impact or ongoing community partnerships.
- • Has a track record or local relationship that helps explain prior funding patterns (helpful but not strictly required).
Geography
Giving is tightly focused on California—especially Los Angeles—with roughly 99% of 2024 dollars staying in-state and only a few very small out‑of‑state gifts.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 15–19 distinct recipients each year and made 16 grants to 16 different organizations in 2024, showing a fairly broad set of independent grantees despite dollar concentration among the top few.
New Applicants
Observed turnover includes multiple new recipients (six in 2024 and ten in 2023), and the foundation publishes a concrete submission route (mailed letters only) and a December 1 deadline, indicating unfamiliar applicants can realistically access funding.
