This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

  • The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and gives only to organisations it has preselected, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; check first whether your organisation has an existing link to it.
  • Its stated emphasis is Jewish education and heritage, so that is where your work will fit most clearly.
  • Half of its 58 grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, and the median grant was $10,000, so a request near that amount is realistic.
  • Its typical grants fall between $1,000 and $115,000, but that band is not a ceiling, as its largest grant was about $810,000.
  • The filing shows most recorded grants in Georgia, Washington, DC and New York, but no geographic focus is stated, and the filing sets no application format or deadlines.
