Taube Family Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation's stated themes are education and scholarship, Jewish cultural renewal, heritage preservation, community and institution building, and public policy initiatives that uphold core American values, so check that your work falls within one of them.
- The filing says it prefers grants in the San Francisco Bay Area, and other published sources list Poland and Israel as priorities, so a group working elsewhere may find the fit less direct.
- The foundation does not make grants to individuals, so it is not a source for personal requests.
- No grant range is given, and the foundation paid out $1,731,195 in total in its most recent filing, so keep your request modest and state the exact amount you need in your letter.
- The filing gives no deadlines, though it says the foundation accepts applications, so send a letter stating your purpose, programme and amount.
