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

Baltimore-area Jewish congregations, day schools, yeshivas and kollels
Transfers to affiliated federation funds and other donor-advised sponsors
Baltimore health and research institutions: Hopkins, Kennedy Krieger, Sinai, Nova Institute
Israel-focused causes: Technion, IDF friends groups, hospitals, land funds
Secular Baltimore civic life: symphony, museums, KIPP, Thread, Living Classrooms
Human services for families in need, single parents, immigrants, disability support

Typical grant

Half of all checks fall between $9,802 and $37,700, with a median of $16,100, so the everyday grant is small and unrestricted. The very large amounts are not competitive awards: $15.2M to Fidelity Charitable, $11.3M to The Associated federation, $3.2M internal, and a handful of six-figure gifts to anchor Baltimore institutions and Orthodox schools. With 2,061 grants to 964 recipients over four years, most grantees appear more than once, so repeat annual support is the norm once a donor has chosen you.

Their words

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

“GENERAL SUPPORT”
“American Friends of”
“Congregation”
“Kollel”
“Yeshiva”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as donor-advised money: cultivate individual fundholders and lay leaders, not a program office.
Anchor to Baltimore. 840 of 2,061 grants stayed in Maryland, most inside the metro area.
For health or research work, echo the Nova Institute, Kennedy Krieger and Hopkins pattern of unrestricted institutional support.
Ask in the $15,000 to $40,000 range for a first gift; six figures follows relationships, not proposals.

Worth knowing: Every grant is labeled general support, which signals donor-directed giving rather than a strategy staff evaluates against criteria. Roughly $30M of the $157M total moved to Fidelity Charitable, the affiliated Baltimore federation, and the organization itself, so the pool actually reaching outside nonprofits is smaller than the headline figure, and it skews heavily Jewish communal and Orthodox educational.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
