Kolatch Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation accepts no unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold approach is unlikely to succeed; the filing describes no application stages or deadlines.
- Its typical grants fall between $190 and $100,000, about 8 in 10 of its grants, with a median of $5,000 and half of its 175 grants at $5,000 or less, so a modest request is the realistic size, though its largest grant of $5,000,000 shows that band is not a ceiling.
- About 80% of its grant dollars in its latest filing went to organisations it had also funded the year before, which suggests existing recipients receive most of its money.
- Its recorded grants are general support to congregations, schools, health, social-service and cultural organisations, and its filings show grants mainly in the United States, New York and New Jersey, although no geographic focus is stated.

Recipients include Jewish congregations, schools and communal organisations, as well as emergency medical, health, social-service and cultural organisations and philanthropic intermediaries. The filings do not state a named funding field or describe which organisations are eligible.
