Elaine and Alexandre Rosenberg Charitable Foundation

• The foundation supports institutions in collecting and preserving rare books, and the filing gives no sign of a wider arts or heritage remit, so work outside that focus is unlikely to fit.
• It does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold proposal will not be considered and any approach would need to come through a relationship the organisation already has with the foundation.
• Half of its 15 grants to organisations were $50,000 or less and the median grant was $50,000, so a request near that figure is the most typical, although its largest grant was $325,000.
• Its grant dollars went entirely to organisations it had funded in earlier filings, which points to a settled group of grantees, but that is a pattern in its giving rather than a bar on new applicants.
• The filing shows grants mainly in New York and Rhode Island, yet no geographic focus is stated, so that pattern does not limit who may apply.
