The Krupp Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation works by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so do not send it a cold application; wait for an invitation before making any request.
- If your work sits within its Environment, Education or Jewish Life areas, it fits its stated priorities, though it also says it will respond to needs beyond them.
- About 8 in 10 of its 48 grants to organisations fall between $25,000 and $150,000, with a median of $100,000, so a request near that band is typical, although the largest grant was $250,000 and the band is not a ceiling.
- Repeat giving is strong: 76% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded before, so relationships appear to matter a good deal.
- No geographic focus is stated, though its grants are mainly in New York, Massachusetts, the District of Columbia and California.

Priority Areas
The Krupp Foundation supports organisations and leaders working to build and sustain vibrant, inclusive and connected communities. It frames this work through three primary programme areas: Environment, Education and Jewish Life. Its giving is guided by a deep commitment to the Jewish values of social justice. The foundation describes these areas as strategic priorities, while also aspiring to remain open and responsive to emerging needs and opportunities beyond them. Its stated approach combines a defined programme framework with willingness to address needs that fall outside those priorities.
