Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation

• This foundation funds hospitals and universities, supporting academic work, scholarships, health-care services and medical research, so a small nonprofit outside those fields is unlikely to fit.
• It gives only to preselected organisations and does not accept unsolicited requests, so an unsolicited approach should not be sent.
• Where a relationship exists, typical grants to organisations range from $30,000 to $1,600,000, with a median of $375,000, so a mid-size request in that range would be realistic.
• With 99% of its grant dollars going to organisations it had also funded in the two prior filings, this reads as a relationship-led funder that mostly continues support to established partners rather than welcoming new applicants.
• No geographic focus is stated, though its grants are seen mainly in California and District of Columbia.
