Ideal Applicant
A California-based nonprofit (or a program with strong California presence) working in wellness, higher-education research, Jewish community causes, or local environmental/education initiatives that can be surfaced to the foundation through partners or referral.
Good Fit
- • Programs in health/wellness, geriatrics, mental health, or university research partnerships
- • Strong local presence or partners in Los Angeles / Southern California
- • Existing relationships or introductions from prior grantees, local institutions, or advisors
- • Capacity to accept mid-size grants (five-figure to low six-figure) and to steward institutional donors
Geography
The foundation funded organizations in 12 states in the latest year, but most dollars (about 83%) remained concentrated in California and the foundation is based in Beverly Hills.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 86 grants to 51 distinct recipients, with 49 new recipients that year, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Public materials and application notes indicate funding is by preselection or invitation rather than an open RFP, but the high number of new grantees in 2023 shows the foundation regularly adds unfamiliar organizations; direct open-application routes are not evident.
