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
- STEM and career-connected curriculum in Massachusetts public school districts
- Jewish community life, campus Hillel, and Israel engagement programming
- Youth development and workforce pathways for young adults
- Israel-focused policy, advocacy, and Arab-Israeli economic inclusion
- Boston health and human services safety net institutions
Typical grant
Median grant is $50,000 with the middle half between $25,000 and $200,000, so most of the portfolio is modest. The largest checks, $2 million to $3 million, go to national workforce and education intermediaries like Year Up, Thread, MIND Research Institute, and to Jewish and Israel umbrella organizations such as AIEF and Jewish Federations of North America. With 559 grants to 310 recipients over three years, most grantees repeat, and the district-level education grants in particular look like multi-year commitments with varying annual amounts.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “EDUCATION”
- “YOUTH DEVELOPMENT”
- “COMMUNITY”
- “GLOBAL”
- “HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES”
Positioning adjacent work
- Anchor to their Massachusetts district work: Fall River, Revere, Chelsea, Pittsfield, Westfield all got six figures.
- Ask $50,000 to $200,000 for a first grant; multi-million checks go to established national intermediaries.
- Frame research as EDUCATION rather than academic study; RAND and Brown got mid-six-figure and $149,000 awards.
- Pair STEM curriculum work with a named district partner rather than pitching a standalone university project.
Worth knowing: Two thirds of grants go to Massachusetts recipients, and the non-MA money concentrates in New York and DC Jewish and Israel-focused organizations, which reads as a distinct, relationship-driven track. The education portfolio flows directly to public school districts and towns rather than to intermediaries, so credibility with Massachusetts superintendents matters more than national reputation.
Top recipients
Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
