Invitation only
Unsolicited applications are not accepted

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

Key takeaways

  • The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation without an invitation or an existing relationship should not send an application, as it is unlikely to be considered.
  • The filing records grants to congregations, yeshivas, and Jewish cultural, social-service and humanitarian organisations, alongside religious, educational and charitable purposes, so work of those kinds is the closest fit the filing shows.
  • The filing gives no grant range and no geographic focus, so it cannot indicate a typical request size; the $7,115,600 paid out is the total of its giving, not a grant size.
  • Because access is by invitation only, the foundation appears relationship-led, and the filing says nothing about timing.

Priority Areas

The filing identifies the recipients as tax-exempt organisations and describes the grants as serving religious, charitable, scientific, educational or literary purposes. Its attached schedule records grants for religious and spiritual development, educational support, human services, humanitarian projects and cultural and ethnic awareness. The named recipients include congregations, yeshivas and other religious and educational institutions, alongside Jewish cultural, social-service and humanitarian organisations. The records therefore show support channelled through charitable organisations, with many listed purposes connected with Jewish religious life and education. They do not state a general geographic focus or grant size.
