Hager Foundation
This organization is a private foundation focused on supporting various charitable causes, primarily within the Jewish community. Its mission reflects a commitment to general use funding for organizations that provide essential services, promote religious and faith-based initiatives, and engage in community service. The foundation supports a diverse range of recipients, including charities and community service organizations, with a notable emphasis on those serving Jewish populations. While it operates primarily in California, its funding extends to organizations across multiple states.

Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid sized Jewish or faith-based community organizations, often requesting general operating support and based in California, New York, or nearby states.
Good Fit
- • Mission focused on Jewish community, religious, or faith-based community services.
- • Organizational scale aligned with median grants (~$10,000) though occasional larger grants are made.
- • Established local/regional presence in CA or NY or relationships with organizations already in the foundation's network.
- • Requests for general operating support or program funding rather than highly specialized national initiatives.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached four states rather than a single city or county, but dollars are heavily concentrated in New York and California rather than broadly national.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 40 distinct recipients, a reasonably broad set of independent charities for a single-year snapshot; recipients skew toward Jewish and faith-based organizations.
New Applicants
Direct turnover across years cannot be measured from a single year of data, but the foundation explicitly states it only funds preselected applicants and no public application or contact route was identified, making entry by unfamiliar applicants unlikely.
