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 Atlanta: JF&CS, JCC, Jewish Home Life
National and overseas allocations through Jewish Federations of North America
Atlanta Jewish day schools: Weber, Atlanta Jewish Academy, Epstein, Davis, Torah Day
Israel engagement: Birthright, Masa, ImpactIsrael, Friends of the IDF
Atlanta synagogues, Chabad centers, Hillels of Georgia and Jewish camps
Donor-directed medical research and disaster relief outside Jewish sector

Typical grant

Median grant is $18,110 and the middle half runs $10,000 to $54,488, so most of the 1,444 grants are modest donor-directed gifts. The money is concentrated at the top: a dozen checks between $600,000 and $4.7 million go to the federation's own network partners, day schools, and JFNA. With 1,444 grants to 1,072 recipients across four years, roughly a quarter of recipients get funded more than once, and the large institutional allocations repeat annually.

Their words

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

“Chabad”

Positioning adjacent work

Anchor to an Atlanta Jewish institution as fiscal or program partner; unaffiliated national asks rarely appear.
Ask $10,000 to $50,000 for a first gift; six figures here follows a named donor relationship.
For health or science work, mirror the Emory, Georgia Tech, and Mucolipidosis IV pattern: Atlanta-based, disease-specific.
Route through a donor-advised fundholder rather than the federation's allocation process; most mid-size grants originate there.

Worth knowing: This is a federation, not a conventional grantmaking foundation: the top ten recipients absorb well over half of $193.7 million, and the long tail of $10,000 to $50,000 grants is donor-advised money moving at individual fundholders' direction. Georgia takes 696 grants and New York 262, and non-Jewish recipients like Boulder Crest, Coming Together For A Cure, and Hank Aaron Chasing The Dream show up because a donor asked, not because a program area exists.

Top recipients

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