Muriel & Norman B Leventhal Family Foundation

• The foundation gives only to preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold proposal is unlikely to be considered; if you have a warm introduction through someone who already knows it, that is the route to try first.
• Its recorded grants mostly support a scholarship fund, with smaller awards for an Israel emergency appeal and general support, so your work is most plausibly a fit if it is in higher education or Jewish community philanthropy or religious life, and the grants are concentrated in Massachusetts, though the filing states no geographic focus.
• In the filing, half of its eight grants to organisations were $175,000 or less, and typical grants run from $25,000 to $1,000,000, so size any request with the $175,000 median in mind rather than the top of the range.
• All of its latest grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in the two earlier filings, which suggests relationship-led giving, so an organisation without an existing link should not expect a request to be considered.
