The Leonard & Robert Weintraub Family Foundation

• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests and works by invitation only, so a small charity should not send it a cold application and should look for a personal connection that could lead to an invitation.
• Its stated priority is New York City, though it supports some charities based elsewhere, so check that your work is based there or reaches people there before you approach it.
• Its interests include feeding the hungry, education, health research, economic justice, social equality, animal welfare and building community, and it has given to food-relief, health-care, social-service, legal-service, arts and educational organisations.
• About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $5,200 and $100,000 and the median grant was $50,000, so a request in that region is typical rather than a ceiling, as its largest grant was about $205,000.
• The filing shows 89% of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so it appears to be relationship-led and an approach is most likely to succeed through an existing connection.
