The Hartman Family Foundation

• The Hartman Family Foundation funds a wide range of causes, including patient care, medical education and biomedical research, care for Jewish people and New Yorkers, relief and physical wellbeing for people in Israel, food-allergy research and education, educational institutions, religious diversity and interfaith activity, arts and culture, public health, social services, education, conservation and community organisations, so check whether your work sits within one of these areas before approaching it.
• No geographic focus is stated, though its recorded giving is concentrated in New York and Illinois while reaching organisations in many states.
• A realistic request should be modest: about 8 in 10 of its 255 grants fall between $180 and $75,000, the median grant is $3,600, and half of its grants across two filings were $3,600 or less, although its largest recorded grant was $2,250,000.
• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and operates by invitation only, so a cold application is not the way in; 92% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded the previous year, suggesting its giving is relationship-led and concentrated among existing contacts rather than open to new applicants through a standard process.
