Funding pattern
What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.
Where the money goes
- Jewish congregations, yeshivas, day schools across NY/NJ metro
- Fiscally sponsored projects drawing down their own program budgets
- Hunger relief: food banks, pantries, meal delivery
- Israel-related and Jewish communal organizations abroad
- K-12 education, charter networks, independent schools
- Hospitals, health foundations, mental health and youth wellbeing
Typical grant
Median grant is $16,000, with the middle half falling between $10,000 and $38,500. The seven-figure checks are not conventional grants: they are disbursements to fiscally sponsored programs like Project Shema and Natan spending their own funds, so treat them as a separate category. Volume is enormous, 2,629 grants to 1,433 recipients in four years, meaning many recipients appear repeatedly across years as donor accounts renew.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “GENERAL OPERATING SUPPORT”
- “GENERAL OPERATING SUPPORT OF A FISCALLY SPONSORED PROGRAM”
- “CLOSED”
Positioning adjacent work
- FJC is a donor-advised and fiscal sponsorship vehicle; cultivate the individual fundholder, not the foundation staff.
- Ask in the $10,000 to $40,000 band unless a specific donor relationship supports more.
- Every grant is unrestricted general operating support; do not build a restricted project budget.
- If you run a project without 501(c)(3) status, explore fiscal sponsorship rather than a grant request.
Worth knowing: Nearly all money lands in NY, NJ and CT, with a heavy Jewish communal concentration and a large share of dollars flowing to a small set of fiscally sponsored programs housed at FJC itself. Grants to Fidelity Charitable and National Philanthropic Trust confirm this is donor-directed money moving between accounts, so success depends entirely on knowing a fundholder.
