Ideal Applicant
Small to mid‑scale nonprofits seeking modest general support—particularly local Arizona community organizations, Jewish institutions, food banks, education and small arts groups that fit the funder's past giving.
Good Fit
- • Provides community services or Jewish community programming aligned with prior grantees.
- • Operates in Arizona or has a clear connection to Arizona while still serving a multi‑state constituency.
- • Seeks a one‑time or small operating/support grant (typical awards under $5,000).
- • Can submit a concise written request with clear purpose, mailing address, and phone contact.
Geography
Recent grants were made to organizations in seven states, though Arizona received the largest share (about 44%) while substantial giving also went to New York and other states.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded about 26–32 distinct recipients each year across the observed three years, indicating a broad and varied recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (12 new recipients in the latest year) and the foundation provides written‑request submission instructions, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
