The Marion & Norman Tanzman Charitable Foundation

• The foundation states that its focus is health and medical services and Jewish organisations, so a request should show a clear link to one of those areas.
• It makes grants only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; the realistic route is a warm introduction through someone the foundation already knows.
• Its typical grant falls between $2,000 and $140,000, and half of its grants are $7,500 or less, so a modest request around that level fits its usual pattern, though its largest grant was $300,000.
• Organisations it had also funded in earlier filings received 79% of its grant dollars to organisations, so a new applicant should expect a relationship-led and competitive path.
• No geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not rule your organisation out.
