Ideal Applicant
A faith-based congregation or religious educational institution (often local to New York/New Jersey) with connections into the foundation’s existing community networks.
Good Fit
- • Organization is a religious or religious-educational institution aligned with the Belz / local Jewish community.
- • Located in New York or New Jersey (or serves communities there).
- • Has an existing relationship, referral, or introduction from community leaders or previous grantees.
- • Requests funding at amounts consistent with the foundation’s past grants (small to mid five-figure range).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year spanned three states but were regionally concentrated: roughly 61% of 2023 dollars went to New York with the foundation located in New Jersey, indicating a regional (state-level) footprint rather than a national reach.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 18 distinct recipients in 2023, showing a sizable number of independent grantees, but the portfolio is mission-narrow (predominantly religious and religious-education organizations), so institutional diversity is moderate rather than broad.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists—half of 2023 recipients were new—but the foundation's stated policy is invite-only/preselected and there is no public application route, so unfamiliar applicants can sometimes enter the portfolio but likely via referrals or invitation rather than an open process.
