Dina and Andrew Wallach Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation accepts no unsolicited requests and gives only to charitable organisations it selects in advance, so if your organisation has not been invited, do not apply.
- Its typical grants fall between $1,000 and $51,500, with about 8 in 10 of its 67 grants in that band and a median of $6,500, so a modest request near that median fits its usual pattern, though its largest grant was about $635,000, so that band is not a ceiling.
- Repeat recipients dominate: 84% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, which makes this a relationship-led funder.
- No geographic focus is stated; the filing shows grants mainly in Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut, but that is a pattern in its giving, not a rule about who may apply.
