Key takeaways

  • The foundation's filing says it makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, and it gives no route to becoming preselected, so an unsolicited approach is unlikely to be considered.
  • Its stated priority is Miami-Dade, and its themes are Jewish communal life, athletics and education, so check that your work sits within those areas before you make contact.
  • If you do have a connection to the foundation, a request near its typical grant band of $10,000 to $250,000 fits best, since its median grant is $30,000 and about half of its grants are $30,000 or less.
  • Its largest grant was about $1,000,000, so that band is not a ceiling, but continuing relationships matter: 62% of its grant dollars to organisations in its most recent filing went to groups it had also funded in its earlier filings.
