Buller Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Buller Foundation, based in Jericho, NY, shows support for Jewish and Israel-related organisations, and its grant record also includes universities, research and health bodies, and food and social-service providers, so a charity should check whether its own work falls within one of these areas.
- The filings show grants mainly in New York, but no geographic focus is stated, so a charity elsewhere should not assume it is ruled out.
- About 8 in 10 grants fall between $360 and $25,000, with a median of $1,800, so a modest request in that region is the most realistic size, and the $250,000 largest grant should not be read as a ceiling.
- The foundation accepts applications by invitation only and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a charity should not send a cold proposal and should look for a route to an invitation, after which the filing lists mail as the submission method and asks for information on the charity's purpose and nature.
- In its most recent filing, 62% of grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in earlier filings, so repeat relationships carry real weight, and a new applicant should prepare with that in mind.
