The Jon & Abby Winkelried Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a small charity should not send a cold proposal and should look for a route to the foundation through someone who already knows it.
- Its reported themes are temples and Jewish education, so the case for a request is strongest for organisations doing that kind of work.
- Its stated geographic focus is a priority on the U.S. and Israel, as reported in other published sources, so check that your work is based there.
- Its annual giving has risen in each of the three years shown, reaching $3,790,650 in the latest one, but the filing gives no grant range, so any request size should rest on your own budget rather than on a typical grant.
- Because the filing does not identify recipients, it is hard to tell from the record which organisations have already been funded.
