Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits working in Jewish community life, OCD research/mental health, or related community and cultural activities that can demonstrate scale, track record, and alignment with stated priorities.
Good Fit
- • Mission alignment with strengthening Jewish community life or OCD research.
- • Organizational track record and demonstrated program impact.
- • Regional relevance (California or jurisdictions that the foundation funds heavily) or national network presence.
- • Existing relationships or introductions to foundation staff, trustees, or trusted intermediaries.
- • Capacity to absorb mid-to-large grants or to partner with fiscal sponsors.
Geography
Observed grants go to organizations in about nine states; the latest year shows a clear multi-state footprint with one jurisdiction receiving a majority share but substantial out-of-state giving overall.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows dozens of independent recipients (56 distinct grantees) with continued renewal of many partners alongside a steady stream of new grantees, indicating a broad recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly states grants are by invitation only, which limits open applications, but observed behavior shows regular additions of new grantees (about 10–13 new recipients in recent years) and a public inquiries contact, so new entrants are possible but typically via relationship or referral.
