Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized nonprofits working on Jewish community, faith‑based, education or community service programs, especially organizations with an existing relationship or regional presence in California or New York and project budgets in the $10k–$50k range.
Good Fit
- • Established relationship or an introduction to a trustee, officer, or intermediary.
- • Work aligned with Jewish community, religious education, or community service causes the foundation has funded.
- • Organizational presence or programming in California or New York (or a demonstrable regional connection).
- • Project requests in the foundation's common award band (roughly $10k–$50k).
Geography
Observed giving spans about 10 states, with California the largest single state but a majority of dollars flowing out of state overall, indicating a multi‑state footprint rather than strictly local giving.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded over 40 distinct recipients in the latest year with a substantial number of newcomers and 15 organizations recurring across the three observed years, showing a broad and diverse recipient set for its size.
New Applicants
Although many new recipients appeared in the latest year, the filing and default application data state the foundation funds only preselected applicants and no public application route or contact details were found, so unfamiliar organizations are unlikely to access funding without invitation or introduction.
