Ideal Applicant
A New York–based Jewish religious institution (synagogue, yeshiva, or small community charity) with local ties or a known connection to the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a religious or Jewish community institution located in New York.
- • Existing introduction or endorsement from a community leader, past grantee, or someone connected to the foundation’s officers.
- • Request size in the small-to-mid grant range consistent with prior awards (roughly $1.5K–$41K).
- • Clear program alignment with religious worship, education, or local community support.
Geography
Observed giving across all available years is confined to New York state; every recorded grant and the foundation’s listed location are in NY.
Recipient Variety
Recent years show multiple distinct independent grantees (five in 2022 and four in 2024) rather than a single permanent beneficiary, indicating a moderate spread of recipients for a small private foundation; however one very large grant in 2022 produced strong dollar concentration that year.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants and no public application or contact route was found, so unsolicited unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to gain entry; that said, three new recipients appeared in 2024, suggesting new entrants can be added via networked introductions rather than open solicitation.
