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

Jewish communal institutions in San Diego: federation, JCC, synagogues, day schools
Research universities and their foundations, led by MIT and UC San Diego
San Diego arts anchors: symphony, MCASD, Old Globe, La Jolla Playhouse, KPBS
Health systems and disease-specific research: Sharp, Curebound, Salk, Mucolipidosis IV
Israel-connected organizations: Technion, Central Fund of Israel, FIDF, Magen David Adom
Civil liberties and safety net: ACLU, San Diego Food Bank, Interfaith Community Services

Typical grant

The median grant is $21,975 and half of all grants land between $10,000 and $68,401, so the normal check here is five figures. The seven- and eight-figure grants go to institutions a single wealthy donor-advisor has a long tie to, such as the $31 million to MIT or $10.8 million to the Jewish Federation of San Diego County. With 2,768 grants to 1,327 recipients over four years, most recipients come back roughly twice, and the core San Diego Jewish and arts institutions appear every year.

Top recipients

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