Ideal Applicant
A New York–based, small to mid-size Jewish or faith-based nonprofit seeking a one-time or modest multi-year grant in the range observed ($10K–$40K) and able to apply by phone or mailed request.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in New York state.
- • Mission aligns with Jewish community or faith-based services.
- • Request size matches recent grants (roughly $10,000–$40,000).
- • Can document local impact and community ties or provide local references.
- • Willingness to contact the foundation by phone or mail and follow a rolling submission approach.
Geography
Observed grantmaking across all available years is concentrated entirely in New York state; no out-of-state grants were recorded.
Recipient Variety
Across four years the foundation funded several different independent local charities (1–2 grants per year); each year funds different organizations, indicating a modestly varied recipient set despite low per-year counts.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new recipients in each observed year and the foundation lists telephone/mail solicitation with rolling submissions and a named contact, so unfamiliar local organizations appear reasonably able to enter the portfolio.
