Ideal Applicant
A nonprofit seeking project-designated or general operating support with clear ties or program presence in Florida (or a national program with strong Florida relevance), able to submit a concise letter request with financials and IRS exemption documentation.
Good Fit
- • Programs or projects operating in Florida or serving Palm Beach-area populations
- • Request is for project-designated or general operating support and includes a clear budget
- • Organization can provide IRS exemption letter and recent financials
- • Capacity to manage mid-size to large grants (five-figure to six-figure range)
- • Demonstrated alignment with philanthropic themes observed (Jewish community support, social justice, health, community services)
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in one state: about 71% of dollars went to Florida in the latest year, though smaller grants also reached six other states; the footprint is multi-state but strongly Florida-focused.
Recipient Variety
The foundation made roughly 32–35 grants per year to about 25–30 distinct recipients each year, combining returning grantees with a meaningful number of new entrants, which indicates a broad recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows new grantees each year (11 new recipients in the latest year) and the foundation publishes submission instructions with a named contact, rolling consideration, and required documents, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
