Michele & David Mittelman Family Foundation

• This foundation makes grants only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and an invitation is the route it describes.
• Its typical grant band runs from $250,000 to $3,000,000, and half of its grants to organisations across the three filings were about $710,000 or less, so a small request would sit well below what it usually gives.
• Its recorded grants went mostly to universities and colleges, alongside other public charities, so an organisation outside those types should check whether its work fits before seeking contact.
• No geographic focus is stated, though the filing shows grants mainly in New York, Vermont and Massachusetts, which is a pattern and not a rule about who may apply.
• In earlier filings, 24% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded, so repeat giving is a real share of its funding.
