Leventhal Family Charitable Foundation

• The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so organisations that have not been invited should not send one.
• Its filed grants go to public charities in many fields, but the filings set out no named field of funding or eligibility criteria, and no geographic focus is stated, although the filings show grants mainly in New York.
• If an invitation does come, a request in the typical band fits: about 8 in 10 of its 77 grants to organisations fall between $1,000 and $50,000, with a median of $5,000 and half at $5,000 or less, though its largest grant was $300,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
• Repeat giving is modest, with 13% of its grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing going to organisations it had also funded in its two earlier filings, and the filings do not explain how organisations come to be selected.
