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

Core Jewish communal agencies in Miami-Dade (JCS, CAJE, JCCs)
National and Israeli Jewish infrastructure via JFNA and Israel funds
Mount Sinai Medical Center and other South Florida health systems
Jewish day schools, yeshivas, and Hillel campus programs
Holocaust memory, Israel advocacy, and antisemitism monitoring
Local synagogues, arts institutions, and Miami safety-net nonprofits

Typical grant

Median grant is $20,000, with the middle half between $10,000 and $51,513, so most of the 1,400 payments on file are modest. The seven- and eight-figure checks go to a short list of core beneficiaries: JFNA at $15.1 million, Mount Sinai Medical Center Foundation at $7.6 million, JCS South Florida at $3.1 million, the Holocaust Memorial Committee at $2.6 million. With 1,400 grants to 988 recipients across 2021-2024, a meaningful share of organizations show up more than once, and the largest institutional relationships renew annually.

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor to a funded theme: Jewish education, Israel-related health and emergency response, Holocaust memory, or disability inclusion.
Ask $25,000 to $100,000 for a first check; six figures and up goes to core Miami agencies.
Emphasize Miami-Dade beneficiaries; 478 of the grants land in Florida versus 251 in New York.
Cultivate a donor with a fund at the Federation rather than pitching the Federation cold.

Worth knowing: This is a federation, not a conventional private foundation: most dollars move through the annual campaign to designated core beneficiaries and through donor-advised funds, so giving tracks donor relationships more than staff review. Grants outside the Jewish communal, Israel, and Miami-Dade orbit are rare, and every description in the record simply reads general support.

Top recipients

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