Ben B and Joyce E Eisenberg Foundation

• The filing says the foundation gives only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered.
• A warm introduction through someone who already knows the foundation is the realistic route in.
• Its stated emphasis is medical research and the care of children and the elderly, so the work has to sit in one of those areas to fit.
• Typical grants fall roughly between $2,500 and $500,000, but half of its 25 grants to organisations were $20,000 or less and the median was $20,000, so a request near that level matches its pattern better.
• No geographic focus is stated, and the filing records awards in six states with California the largest share, so location alone does not settle whether to approach it.
