GLFF INC primarily supports U.S. civic and public-policy work focused on strengthening democratic institutions and participation, while also making targeted gifts to veteran advocacy, scientific research, higher education, and local cultural/social services. Their giving favors policy organizations, voting and redistricting reform groups, and a handful of research and NYC-based social/cultural nonprofits. Grants are typically unrestricted, suggesting trust in grantee leadership and flexible use of funds.
Glff Inc’s recent giving shows a clear emphasis on U.S. democracy work, with repeated support for redistricting reform, voting access, and public-policy organizations. In 2024, it gave $250,000 to National Redistricting Foundation for general support, and in 2023 it made another $250,000 unrestricted grant to the same group. The foundation also backed Protect Democracy Project with $200,000 in 2023 and supported Voter Registration Project and The Voter Participation Center in Washington, DC, reflecting a pattern of funding organizations tied to election participation and institutional reform. Alongside that civic portfolio, the foundation has funded Jewish communal services and advocacy groups, including Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, Anti Defamation League, American Jewish World Services, PEF Israel Endowment Funds, and JDC. Its recent grants also extend to higher education and research, such as Brown University and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The mix points to a funder that favors broad general support, often unrestricted, for organizations with policy, advocacy, research, or service missions.
