This foundation concentrates its giving on major Jewish and Israel-focused organizations, providing large, unrestricted gifts that support community-building, humanitarian relief, and policy/educational initiatives. Grants are few and very large, directed at established institutions in the U.S. (notably New York/Manhattan) and Israel, suggesting a donor strategy centered on sustained impact through trusted national and transnational Jewish organizations.
Conduit Foundation C/o Wm Doyle Jr Winston & Strawn LLP made two seven-figure grants in 2023 to PEF Israel Endowment Funds and Manhattan Jewish Experience, both listed for general purposes. That pairing points to a grantmaker that backs established Jewish institutions with flexible support rather than tightly restricted project funding. The year’s largest awards also included The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee and Shalem Foundation, showing a pattern of substantial gifts to organizations tied to Israel, Jewish humanitarian work, and Jewish education or civic life. Most of the 2023 grants were made to recipients in New York, with additional support reaching California, Connecticut, Washington, DC, the US Virgin Islands, and Israel-focused entities through U.S.-based organizations. The foundation’s profile suggests a concentration on major institutions that already have scale and operating history, with grants large enough to matter for general operations, community programming, and ongoing institutional priorities.
Israel-related giving is a central thread in the foundation’s recent grants. In 2023, it gave $2,175,000 to PEF Israel Endowment Funds for general purposes and $1,000,000 to Shalem Foundation for general purposes. Jewish community infrastructure is another visible area: Manhattan Jewish Experience received $2,000,000 for general purposes, while Westchester Hebrew High School received $60,000 for general support. The foundation also supported Jewish humanitarian and relief work through a $1,166,000 grant to The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. Smaller awards extended the same pattern of flexible support to organizations such as Friends of United Hatzalah and Eilat Charities Inc., both listed with general-purpose funding.
The typical grant size is substantial: p25 is $60,000, median is $100,000, and p75 is $1,000,000. In the 2023 file, the foundation’s awards range from six figures to multi-million-dollar grants, with multiple grants at or above $1,000,000. The recent record shows a one-year snapshot rather than repeated multi-year awards to the same recipients. Conduit Foundation C/o Wm Doyle Jr Winston & Strawn LLP does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments, and the grants listed are all to nonprofit organizations.

Highly concentrated: very few grants of large size, mostly unrestricted/general purpose, directed to established Jewish/Israel institutions and donor-advised vehicles rather than many small or grassroots grants.
