The Leslie & Roslyn Goldstein Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes grants only to organisations it has selected itself and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and a warm introduction or an existing relationship is the realistic route.
- Its recorded support is described as general support across health and medical research, older-adult care, Jewish community and social-service work, Holocaust education, media, arts, hunger relief and civic activity, so check whether your work sits within one of these areas.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $5,000 and $300,000, the median grant was $100,000 and the largest was about $1,200,000, so a request near the $100,000 median is a sensible starting point rather than a ceiling.
- In the filing, 99% of its grant dollars to organisations went to organisations it had also funded in an earlier filing, so the filing suggests that a relationship with the foundation matters more than the size of the request.
- The filing states no geographic focus, though its grants have mainly gone to New York, District of Columbia and Connecticut; treat that as a description of past giving, not a rule about who may apply.
