Keren Keshet - The Rainbow Foundation

• Keren Keshet's stated priorities are the U.S., Israel and the former Soviet Union, and its filed themes are Jewish communal unity, Jewish education and Jewish culture, so work that matches those themes is the clearest fit.
• Half of its 103 grants to organisations were $25,000 or less, so a modest request is realistic, and about 8 in 10 grants fall between $5,000 and $415,000, though that band is typical rather than a ceiling, since its largest grant was $10,000,000.
• Most of its grant dollars went to organisations it had funded before, so a first approach is worth making but may be stronger if it builds on an existing connection.
• The filing gives no deadline and says it accepts applications, and the route is to present a communication to the board of directors.
• Other published sources report that it seeks out projects it likes rather than waiting for them to arrive, so a proposal that shows clear alignment with its themes is likely to be well received.
