Abraham & Sonia Rochlin Foundation

• The filing states that the foundation does not accept unsolicited requests and makes contributions only to preselected charitable organisations, so a cold proposal is unlikely to be considered, and an introduction or existing connection is the realistic route in.
• The filing describes its grants only as supporting organisational missions and names no field of funding, so fit is hard to judge from the record; the recipients listed include public broadcasting, a religious congregation and a braille-access organisation, which may help you gauge whether your work is similar.
• Half of its 29 grants to organisations were $25,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $2,500 and $1,750,000, so a request in the low tens of thousands sits closest to its usual pattern, though that band is not a ceiling.
• Its giving is strongly repeat, with 96% of grant dollars to organisations it had also funded in the earlier filings.
• No geographic focus is stated, although the filings show grants mainly in the United States and New York.
