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

Orthodox yeshivas, kollels and congregations in Lakewood, Brooklyn, LA
Los Angeles Jewish communal agencies, day schools and synagogues
Transfers to other donor-advised fund sponsors and community foundations
Israel advocacy, antisemitism response and campus Hillel work
Los Angeles social services: housing, food, youth, workforce, health

Typical grant

Median grant is $23,700 and the middle half runs $10,000 to $67,000, so most checks are small. The very large ones, from several hundred thousand to $21 million, go to donor-advised fund sponsors, Cedars-Sinai, the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, and a handful of yeshivas and kollels in Lakewood and Brooklyn. With 2,941 grants to 1,697 recipients over three years, roughly half of grantees are getting money more than once.

Their words

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

“general support”
“Congregation”
“Yeshiva”
“Kollel”
“Fnd”

Positioning adjacent work

Ask in the $10,000 to $67,000 range unless you have an existing donor relationship driving a larger gift.
Connect work to Los Angeles Jewish communal life, education, or direct service rather than pure research.
Universities do appear (UC Berkeley, UCLA, CSU Northridge); frame a named fund or program, not overhead.
Adjacent themes with traction: antisemitism and hate response, campus Jewish life, youth tutoring, housing, food access.

Worth knowing: This is a federation-affiliated donor-advised fund vehicle, so nearly every grant is donor-directed and labeled general support. There is no program officer picking themes. Winning money here means finding the individual fundholder who cares about your work, and the geography is overwhelmingly Los Angeles County plus Orthodox institutional centers in Lakewood, Brooklyn, and Rockland County.

Top recipients

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