Joseph & Vicky Safra Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The filing shows the foundation paid $11,705,848 in grants in its most recent year, but it does not accept unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected.
- A small charity should not send a cold proposal, because the only route the filing describes is an invitation.
- The filing does not state a geographic focus or a grant range, so you cannot tell from it whether your area or request size fits, and you should not assume either.
- Because the process is invitation-only, success depends on a prior relationship rather than an open competition, so your time may be better spent on foundations that take open applications.
Overview
Joseph & Vicky Safra Foundation is a US private foundation based in New York, NY.
What they fund
Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2025, TY2024, TY2023) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 7 October 2026.
Priority Areas
The foundation’s stated primary purpose is to support, by contribution, other organisations exempt under section 501(c)(3). It makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests. The available grant entries describe their purpose as charitable purposes, but do not identify the recipient organisations. The evidence therefore establishes a broad charitable grantmaking role, but does not identify particular fields of work, kinds of grantee beyond exempt charitable organisations, or a geographic focus. It does not establish further application steps or eligibility conditions.
How to apply
The foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests.
