Klein Family Foundation

• The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and says it gives only to preselected charitable organisations, so a cold approach is unlikely to work; the realistic route is an existing link that leads to an invitation.
• Its giving is heavily repeat, with 99% of grant dollars in the latest filing going to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so new organisations receive a small share.
• The filing records grants to Brooklyn organisations of several kinds, including a congregation, a school and a kollel, so a Brooklyn-based organisation with a similar profile may suit the recipients on record, though no geographic focus is stated.
• If invited, size the request with the median grant of $74,000 in mind, since about 8 in 10 grants fall between $1,800 and $850,000 and the largest was about $1,500,000.
• The filing does not show how competitive selection is, but its repeat giving suggests that relationships matter more than an open process.
