Suzanne and Charles Goodman Charitable Trust for Jewish Causes

• The filing says the trust accepts no unsolicited requests and gives only to preselected charitable organisations, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered and should not be sent.
• Its recorded grants went to Jewish communal organisations, an organisation serving older people, a university-support organisation, an Israel-related agency and a women's Zionist organisation, mostly as general operating or programme support, so an organisation doing similar work could check whether it is already known to the trust.
• The filing states no geographic focus, so the New York, Illinois and Massachusetts recipients should not be read as a rule about who may apply.
• Grants have ranged from $10,000 to $300,000 with a median of $300,000, but none of its grant dollars in the latest filing went to organisations it had also funded the year before, so repeat funding cannot be relied on.
• The filing gives nothing on timing or how competitive the trust is, so no advice on either can be given.
