Haron Dahan Foundation

• This foundation gives only to preselected charitable organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small nonprofit without an existing relationship should not approach it cold.
• Its support has gone to educational, religious and Jewish community organisations, including an endowment fund, scholarships, general support for a community school, a university, a congregation, a Jewish community federation, a girls’ school, a religious academy, a charity fund and one grant for emergency medical equipment, so fit matters: organisations outside these kinds of causes are unlikely to be a match.
• For size, half of its 29 grants to organisations were $30,000 or less, with a median of $30,000, so a modest request around that level is realistic, even though the range runs up to $4,750,000.
• All of its grant dollars in its most recent filing went to organisations it had already funded in the two prior filings, which points to a relationship-led, repeat-giving pattern rather than open competition for new applicants.
• No geographic focus is stated and the filings give no submission steps or stated timing, so grant writers have little to go on beyond knowing that outreach should come through an existing connection rather than a formal application.
