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

Overseas allocations routed through Jewish Federations of North America, JAFI, JDC
Human services and poverty relief for New Yorkers, including Holocaust survivors
JCCs and YM-YWHAs across the five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester
Jewish day schools, congregations, and Jewish educational programming
Campus Hillels and young adult Jewish engagement
Aging services, home care, and legal assistance for vulnerable adults

Typical grant

Median grant is $100,000, with the middle half falling between $25,000 and $335,000. The very large checks go to national and overseas intermediaries and to legacy New York agencies with decades of relationship, while $25,000 to $150,000 covers synagogues, single Hillel chapters, and program-specific work. With 1,144 grants to only 474 recipients over four years, most funding renews annually rather than being one-time.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“CARING”
“JEWISH LIFE”
“RESPONDING TO CRISES”
“FOR OVERSEAS TARGETED”
“CARING/JEWISH LIFE/RESPONDING TO CRISES”

Positioning adjacent work

Map your work onto one of three labels: CARING, JEWISH LIFE, or RESPONDING TO CRISES.
Serve New York City, Long Island, or Westchester populations directly, and say so in the first paragraph.
Ask $100,000 to $300,000 first time out; six-figure-plus goes to established institutional partners.
Route through an existing grantee such as a JCC, Hillel, or the Jewish Board rather than approaching alone.

Worth knowing: This is a federation, not a research funder: 975 of 1,144 grants stay in New York, and a single recipient, Jewish Federations of North America, absorbed over $120 million in 2024 alone. Direct research support is nearly absent, with Mount Sinai Medical Center at $406,673 and the American Psychological Foundation at $270,000 the rare exceptions, both tagged CARING rather than science.
