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

Pass-through gifts to donor-advised sponsors and charitable intermediaries
National disease charities: cancer, heart, Alzheimer's, MS, leukemia
Congregations, yeshivas and religious ministries, heavily Lakewood and Brooklyn
Mental health and suicide prevention, veteran and LGBTQ focused
Disaster relief, hunger and global humanitarian response
Animal rescue and sanctuary organizations

Typical grant

The median grant is $10,833 and the middle half runs $6,953 to $21,301, so nearly all of the 32,081 grants are small aggregated remittances rather than program awards. The very large checks, from $1 million to $103 million, go to donor-advised fund sponsors like Donors Fund and Jewish Communal Fund and to household-name health charities such as American Cancer Society and St Jude. Money flows continuously rather than in annual cycles, and the same large recipients reappear each year because their own donor bases keep using the platform.

Their words

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

“GENERAL SUPPORT”
“Charitable Giving Fund”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as donor-routed money: get enrolled and verified as a recipient, then drive your own supporters to give.
Do not write a proposal. Every grant on file is coded GENERAL SUPPORT with no program restriction.
If your work touches cancer, neurodegenerative disease, or suicide prevention, note that these categories already absorb the largest non-intermediary sums.
Budget expectations near the $7,000 to $21,000 band unless you can mobilize a national donor base.

Worth knowing: This is a conduit, not a grantmaker with a program officer deciding priorities: the $1.4 billion is aggregated small gifts from individual PayPal users, so the recipient mix reflects donor behavior. California and New York dominate by count, and a cluster of Lakewood and Brooklyn charitable intermediaries and congregations captures an outsized share of dollars, which tells you nothing about receptivity to a researcher's request.

Top recipients

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