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 life and NYC federation infrastructure (UJA, JCRC)
Israel engagement for students and young professionals (Birthright, itrek, TAMID)
Free-market and urban policy research (Manhattan Institute, Hudson Institute)
Synagogues and Jewish day schools in Manhattan and Palm Beach
K-12 education reform and charter schools (Success Academies, Hebrew Language)
Cancer and disease research, small checks (MSK, Melanoma Research Alliance)

Typical grant

Ignore the headline total. Roughly $296M of the $399M moved to a JP Morgan donor-advised fund and to the affiliated Singer Family Charitable Foundation, not to operating charities. Among real grantees the median is $100,000 and the middle half runs $25,000 to $300,000, with the seven-figure tier reserved for UJA Federation, Manhattan Institute, Birthright and Jewish Funders Network. Repeat giving is the norm: more than twenty organizations appear in both 2022 and 2023, often at similar or rising amounts.

Their words

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

“FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSE OF ORGANIZATION”
“Israel”
“Jewish”
“Congregation”
“Foundation”

Positioning adjacent work

Frame policy work against the Manhattan Institute line: urban governance, public safety, education choice, market economics.
Ask $50,000 to $250,000 for a first approach; seven figures goes only to long-standing anchor grantees.
For biomedical work, note the MSK and Melanoma Research Alliance precedent and keep the ask near $50,000.
Programs touching Israel, campus students, or Jewish literacy match the largest share of named grantees.

Worth knowing: This is a personal, relationship-driven vehicle: 91 of 137 grants went to New York recipients, with secondary clusters in Palm Beach, Washington DC, and Martha's Vineyard, and no stated program or open call anywhere in the filings. The overwhelming majority of dollars now passes through a donor-advised fund and a related family foundation, so the disclosed grant list understates where final decisions actually happen.

Top recipients

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