Lets Make It Happen Ny Incorporated
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to providing general support primarily to Jewish organizations and religious institutions. Its mission reflects a commitment to enhancing the Jewish community through funding that addresses various needs, including health, education, and community services. The foundation supports a range of charitable activities, with a significant focus on faith-based initiatives. While it operates mainly within New York, it also extends its support to organizations in other states, particularly those serving the Jewish community.

Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized Jewish or faith-based community organizations seeking general operating support, especially those with local ties in New York (and secondary presence in CA or FL).
Good Fit
- • Religious or Jewish community mission or program focus
- • Request for general operating / unrestricted support
- • Local presence or active programs in New York (or established activity in CA/FL)
- • Introductions or nominations from community leaders or existing grantees
- • Need for grants in the $1K–$50K range, often at smaller amounts
Geography
Observed grants span 11 states with notable pockets in New York, California, and Florida, but over half of dollars remain concentrated in the foundation's home state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (92 distinct grantees) with the majority of awards being general support and many small-dollar gifts, even though the top five recipients take a sizable share of dollars.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows many new grantees each year (68 new recipients in the latest year), so new entrants do appear in the portfolio, but the foundation publicly states it only funds preselected applicants and has no visible public application route, making entry plausible but dependent on nomination or relationship channels.
