To amplify the impact of philanthropy.
Fjc’s recent grantmaking is marked by large unrestricted and general operating grants, including a $13,079,133 award to Dechomai Foundation for unrestricted general support. The pattern points to a funder that uses flexible support to strengthen nonprofit infrastructure rather than narrowly program-specific projects. Among the larger grants on file are a $3,004,120 award to New York Public Library for unrestricted general support and a $2,731,539 award to The Natan Fund for general operating support of a fiscally sponsored program. Those grants show the foundation working across established institutions and fiscally sponsored initiatives, with support that can underwrite core functions, staffing, and mission delivery. Fjc also appears in capital and financing contexts through its philanthropic capital solutions, fiscal sponsorship, and donor-directed structures, which extend its role beyond standard grantmaking. The overall picture is of a platform-like funder that channels resources through multiple vehicles while maintaining a strong emphasis on organizational capacity and mission stability.
A clear theme in Fjc’s grantmaking is support for arts and cultural institutions. It gave $1,125,000 to Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts Inc for general operating support and $1,301,750 to New York Botanical Garden for general operating support, both of which point to core institutional funding. Education is another recurring area: Achievement First Inc received $1,010,000 for general operating support, and The Taft School Corporation received $775,000 for general operating support. In Jewish communal and religious life, it awarded $1,500,000 to Congregation Rachmistrivka for unrestricted general support and $650,000 to Congregation Ahavas Tzedokah Vchesed Inc for general operating support. Fjc also supported social services and housing-related work through a $1,252,843 grant to Anthos Home Inc for general operating support.
Fjc’s typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $15,478 at the median, and $36,983 at the 75th percentile, while the recent grant list also shows a wide spread up to multi-million-dollar awards. The organization operates as a pure DAF provider and also uses specialized funds, fiscal sponsorship, and philanthropic loan structures, so its giving includes both direct grants and donor-directed vehicles. The recent record suggests repeated support for some organizations across years: New York Public Library, New York Botanical Garden, and US Friends of the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute each appear more than once. Unsolicited access is explicitly available for several of FJC’s active programs.
