Ideal Applicant
Small-to-medium Jewish community organizations, yeshivas, synagogues, or local community-service groups—especially Michigan-based entities—seeking program or scholarship support and able to apply by mail with standard IRS documentation.
Good Fit
- • Based in Michigan or delivering substantial services in Michigan.
- • Mission focused on Jewish education, scholarships, synagogues, or community service.
- • Ability to provide IRS determination letter and a board/leadership list.
- • Requests that match typical grant sizes (many awards under $25K with occasional larger scholarships).
- • Willingness to use the mailed submission route and to supply a clear use-of-funds statement.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Michigan (about 80% of dollars in 2024) but grants reached organizations in roughly 15 states, indicating state‑level focus with some out‑of‑state awards.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a large and diverse recipient set (184 distinct recipients and 286 grants), with many independent organizations funded across community services, educational scholarships, and synagogues.
New Applicants
The foundation publishes submission instructions and a mailing contact, and observed recipient turnover is high (145 new recipients in 2024 and historically large new‑recipient counts), so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
