Ideal Applicant
Small or mid-sized charities seeking modest, single-year grants for specific projects or program needs across health, arts, Jewish community, and local community causes; applicants that can articulate a concise use of funds in a letter request.
Good Fit
- • Request is for a modest amount (typical recent grants were under $5,000 and median about $1,000).
- • Able to describe a specific, short-term use of funds in a brief letter.
- • Organization fits common recipient areas seen in past grants (health, arts/culture, Jewish community, community service).
- • Willing to submit a letter to the named contact and accept a rolling decision timeline.
Geography
The latest year shows grants to recipients in nine different states, with only 27% of dollars staying in the foundation state, indicating a multi-state giving footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made 27 grants to 27 distinct organizations, with 23 of those grantees being new that year, which indicates a broad and varied recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants is strong: 23 new recipients in the latest year and only four repeat grantees across the observed years; combined with a stated letter-request process, this suggests unfamiliar applicants have a realistic path into the portfolio.
