Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid sized nonprofits seeking general-purpose support in education, Jewish community services, alumni engagement, or community development, especially with a Colorado connection or alumni tie.
Good Fit
- • Asks for unrestricted or general-purpose support rather than a narrowly restricted program.
- • Has ties to Colorado (or connections to NY/DC) or an alumni relationship with the named universities.
- • Can submit a concise written request plus IRS exemption documentation by mail.
- • Seeks grant amounts in the range observed (small to mid five-figure awards).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to recipients in three states (Colorado, New York, and DC), with roughly 39% of dollars directed to Colorado and the remainder out-of-state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows ten distinct grantees including universities, community foundations, arts and religious organizations, indicating a moderate diversity of recipients for the foundation's size, though dollars were financially concentrated in the top five grantees.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports new entrants: eight of ten 2024 grantees were new, and the foundation publishes a rolling submission route (a general letter plus IRS exemption letter) and a phone/mailing contact, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to join the portfolio.
