The Diane and Guilford Glazer Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation does not accept unsolicited requests, so an organisation that has not been invited to apply should not send one.
- Its stated themes are Israeli development, Jewish communities, Jewish public policy, antisemitism and Israel, global Jewish relations, scientific and medical research, and interfaith relations, so only work that clearly fits one of these is worth raising with it.
- About 8 in 10 of its grants fall between $25,000 and $250,000, half of its grants to organisations were $100,000 or less, and the median grant was $100,000, so a modest request near the lower end of that range suits its typical grant, though these figures are not a ceiling.
- In its latest filing, 75% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had also funded in an earlier filing, which suggests that most of its money already goes to existing grantees, and the filing gives no timing, so an applicant should not plan around a deadline.
