The Jennifer & Evan Mallah Family Foundation
The organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting various charitable causes. Its mission appears to focus on education, community service, and human services, as evidenced by its funding of institutions like New York University and organizations such as the NYS Insight Meditation Center and the Center for Survivor Agency. The foundation primarily serves educational institutions and community organizations, reflecting a commitment to enhancing educational opportunities and providing support to vulnerable populations. While it operates as a small foundation, its funding activities indicate a broad interest in general-purpose grants that benefit diverse sectors.

Ideal Applicant
Small-to-medium nonprofits or institutions in the New York / tri-state area requesting general operating support and able to manage single larger institutional grants.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York or the surrounding tri-state region.
- • Requests for general purpose or operating support rather than restricted project funding.
- • Organizational scale and track record to absorb grants in the $25K–$85K range.
- • Existing relationship, nomination, or referral into the foundation’s network.
Geography
Across three years the foundation funded recipients in NY, NJ, PA and DC, though the latest year’s giving was concentrated entirely in New York, indicating a regional (state/tri-state) footprint rather than purely local or national reach.
Recipient Variety
Each year shows a small number of distinct recipients (2–3) but those recipients vary year-to-year and include universities, community camps, a meditation center and a survivor services organization, suggesting moderate diversity rather than an extremely small closed set.
New Applicants
Application metadata explicitly states awards are made only to preselected recipients and no public application route or contact details were found; while the foundation has funded different new organizations each year, the invitation-only practice makes it unlikely an unfamiliar applicant could readily enter the portfolio.
