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

Elite university research and education: Harvard, Oxford, Columbia, Tel Aviv, Brown
Scientific research prizes and programs via New York Academy of Sciences
Jewish community life, Israel advocacy, and antisemitism response
Medical research at NYU, Mount Sinai, Boston Children's, Dana-Farber
Performing arts, dance, and museums in New York and London
Holocaust and Soviet Jewish history preservation and archives

Typical grant

Median grant is $50,000 and the middle half runs $25,000 to $240,025, but the distribution is extremely top-heavy: a single $11.9 million grant to Moore Impact plus seven- and eight-figure checks to Tel Aviv University, the New York Academy of Sciences, Harvard, Oxford, Brown, and Columbia account for most of the $152 million. Institutional research partnerships get the millions; synagogues, Jewish community groups, arts organizations, and children's charities get $10,000 to $250,000. Named vehicles like the Blavatnik Archive Foundation and the New York Academy of Sciences appear as sustained, repeating commitments rather than one-time gifts.

Their words

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

“Support for Education and Research”
“Support for SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND KNOWLEDGE”
“support for jewish community”
“SUPPORT FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH”
“Support for the arts”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor to the science-and-education axis: they fund research at named elite institutions, not standalone project grants.
A first ask outside the university tier realistically sits between $25,000 and $250,000.
Emphasize young scientists and early-career recognition, which the New York Academy of Sciences relationship signals.
If your work touches Jewish history, Soviet-era archives, or antisemitism, name that explicitly.

Worth knowing: Giving is heavily concentrated in New York with secondary clusters in Massachusetts, California, DC, and London, and it reads as relationship-driven: the largest checks go to institutions where the family has named programs or personal ties, including their own Blavatnik Archive Foundation. An unsolicited approach without an existing institutional connection to Harvard, Oxford, Columbia, Tel Aviv University, or the New York Academy of Sciences is a long shot.
