Norman E Alexander Family M Foundation (New York, NY, EIN 26-4413461)
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity without an existing connection should not send it a cold proposal.
- Its recorded grants cover Jewish community and education, reproductive health, immigrant rights, food assistance, civil rights, culture and science, so check whether your work matches one of these areas before seeking an introduction.
- Where a connection exists, a request around $50,000 is sensible, since that is the median grant and half of its grants were $50,000 or less, while about 8 in 10 grants fall between $25,000 and $500,000.
- Repeat funding is strong, with 74% of grant dollars in the latest filing going to organisations it also funded in the filing before, which suggests it builds on existing relationships.
- The filing does not say when it considers requests, so ask how and when it takes introductions before planning around any deadline.
