Rochelle & David A Hirsch Foundation

• The foundation makes contributions only to preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send it an unsolicited application; the filing does not set out a public route in.
• Its recorded grants are varied, covering Jewish communal and religious bodies, schools and universities, arts and cultural institutions, health and medical charities, and social-service organisations, with the filings showing most grant dollars going to New York organisations, though no geographic focus is stated.
• About 8 in 10 of its 87 grants to organisations fall between $360 and $18,000, and the median is $2,500, so a modest request would sit within its typical pattern, while its largest grant was $700,000 to Jewish Communal Fund.
• The record gives no deadlines, so the realistic step is to find a route to an invitation rather than to plan around a submission date.
