At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Gross Foundation, based in Brooklyn, NY, paid out $3,565,638 in its most recent filing year and states its purposes as furthering Jewish studies and charitable causes.
- It makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is not how this foundation works, and your first task is to find a route to an invitation.
- The filing gives no geographic focus and no grant range, so any request size should be discussed with the foundation rather than assumed.
- Its grants point to Jewish studies as a field it supports, which is worth noting if your work touches on it, though the foundation itself does not state this.
- If you are invited, you will need to provide documentation that your organisation is tax-exempt; no special form is required.
Overview
Gross Foundation is a US private foundation based in Brooklyn, 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 purposes are to further Jewish studies and charitable causes. It makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations. The grant rows do not name recipients, so the kinds of organisations supported, the communities or places served, and any more specific funding priorities are not specified in the available filing. The filing gives no broader account of the foundation’s grantmaking approach or of the organisations it selects beyond preselection. Its stated purposes therefore remain the only fields of support that can be identified from the record.
