Jon and Susan Diamond Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and limits its contributions to preselected charitable organisations, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; the sensible first step is to make a relationship and wait to be invited.
- If your work fits the areas its recorded grants reach, including Jewish community and federated organisations, Israel-related educational and charitable organisations, and organisations in health, culture and the arts, it is worth seeking an introduction.
- Most of its grants are modest: about 8 in 10 fall between $1,000 and $250,000, the median grant is $20,000 and half of its grants are $20,000 or less, so a request near that figure sits at the centre of its typical giving, though its largest grant was $1,000,000.
- The filing shows that 56% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had funded in earlier filings, so it appears to favour continuing relationships, and no geographic focus is stated, so organisations outside its recorded states should not assume they are excluded.
