Ideal Applicant
Nonprofits focused on Jewish community, cultural heritage, or related civic organizations that fit within modest general operating support ranges and that can be engaged through relationships or intermediary introductions.
Good Fit
- • Mission aligned with Jewish community, cultural heritage, or community-services causes.
- • Located in Colorado or a prominent regional/national presence relevant to the foundation’s interests.
- • Seeking general operating support in the typical grant size band (roughly $5k–$50k).
- • Existing introductions or standing relationships with family members, foundation trustees, or intermediary funders.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached 11 states, indicating a multi-state footprint even though Colorado received the largest share (about 45% of dollars).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 24 distinct recipients and a high rate of new grantees (21 new in 2024), and across three years only three repeat recipients were observed, which together indicate a broadly distributed recipient set for this foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists (many new grantees), but the foundation publicly states it only funds preselected applicants and there is no public application portal or contact route, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to access funds without being invited or introduced.
