Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized nonprofit focused on Hizmet-community education, advocacy, or community services in the NY/NJ/PA region with an existing local relationship or referral into the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving the Hizmet community or similar community-based Islamic centers
- • Education or advocacy work aligned with the foundation's stated priorities
- • Presence and operations in the NY/NJ/PA tri-state area
- • A trusted introduction or prior collaboration with local partners
- • Capacity to absorb $10K–$75K awards (matches prior grant sizes)
Geography
Observed 2022 grants went to three states (NJ, PA, NY) with most dollars outside New York, indicating a regional tri-state footprint rather than national reach.
Recipient Variety
In the latest active year (2022) six distinct independent recipients were funded, showing a moderate spread for a small private foundation though dollars were concentrated among a few larger grants; multi-year evidence is limited because 2023 shows no grants.
New Applicants
The website and application language explicitly indicate funding is by preselection only, and observed giving in 2022 appears invitation-driven; direct evidence of turnover or open entry is limited across the two years of filings.
