The Jeffrey H and Shari L Aronson Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- This foundation focuses on education and Jewish causes, supporting early-education efforts and education institutions, so fit is really only likely for organisations working in those areas.
- There is no stated grant range, so it isn't possible to say what a realistic request size would be, though total giving reported was $10,242,839 paid.
- The foundation makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so it works by invitation only; small nonprofits should not send in unsolicited applications, as these will not be considered.
- This points to a relationship-led rather than a competitively applied-for funder.
- No geographic focus, timing, or further eligibility detail is given, so nothing further can be said about when or how to approach it.
