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

Biomedical research and medical education (Albert Einstein, Mount Sinai)
Israel-directed giving through PEF Israel Endowment and American Friends groups
Jewish day schools and yeshivas in NY, NJ, DC
Museums and informal science education (AMNH, Children's Museum of Manhattan)
Hunger relief and food access in New York City
Burlington, Vermont health, arts, and community organizations

Typical grant

Median grant is $75,000, with the middle half between $25,000 and $200,000, so most of the list looks like modest unrestricted operating checks. The money is not distributed that way: Albert Einstein College of Medicine at $29.3M and PEF Israel Endowment at $22.7M in a single year swamp everything else, and a second tier of $1M to $5M goes to AMNH, Mount Sinai, Yeshiva University, Leket Israel, JDC, and Children's Museum of Manhattan. With 289 grants to 154 recipients over three years, most grantees appear more than once, and the pattern reads as annual renewals to a settled list rather than new entrants.

Their words

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

“GENERAL SUPPORT”
“AMERICAN FRIENDS OF”
“FRIENDS OF”
“JEWISH DAY SCHOOL”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie work to Albert Einstein College of Medicine or Mount Sinai; institutional affiliation is the clearest path in.
Ask $75,000 to $200,000 for unrestricted operating support, not a restricted project budget.
A Burlington, Vermont or Israel connection matters more here than national significance.
Frame science education for the public alongside research; AMNH and Children's Museum draw real money.

Worth knowing: Two recipients, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and PEF Israel Endowment, took roughly $52M of the $145M on file, and 173 of 289 grants went to New York. Every grant is coded GENERAL SUPPORT with no project language, which means giving is driven by trustee relationships and long institutional ties, not by proposals; the Vermont cluster and the Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School in DC both point to family connections.

Top recipients

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