Information for Contribution Requests
There are causes committed to humanitarian goals, but lacking sufficient
economic resources to fulfill them. It is our intent to offer assistance in
closing this gap between need and resource. We look to create a path through
which those we help can help others as well.
General Criteria
 | We will consider applications for support in all areas of need, including,
but not limited to education, health and human services, arts and culture,
social welfare, and community development. |
| Special regard will be given to Jewish-related projects or organizations,
but all worthy causes will be given due consideration. |
| We prefer to fund specific projects or proposals as opposed to making
contributions to general operations. |
| We will not fund political parties or individual political candidates. |
| Most grant awards will be under $1,000, but larger requests may be
considered. |
| Some type of matching is preferred, but absence thereof will not necessarily
disqualify an application. |
Application Procedures
Grant applications should be made by a letter of request, normally not more
than three pages. The letter should include:
| A brief description of the entity. |
| A description of the particular project or operation for which funds are
being sought. |
| The reason for this project, including its goals, its need, and the
population benefited. |
| The total cost of this project or operation. |
| The amount of support being sought from the Wolinsky Family Foundation. |
| The source of any additional or matching funds which may be needed to
complete the project. |
| Any time constraints for the requested support. |
| Project evaluation plans and methods of reporting such evaluation. |
In addition, the following attachments should be enclosed:
| An itemized budget for the project or proposal. |
| Organizations should submit a copy of its 501(c)(3) Internal Revenue
Service tax exemption letter, a list of the organization’s officers and
directors, and a summary of its latest financial statement. |
Deadlines
The foundation receives submissions year round, and reviews them at their
semi-annual meeting, or at special meetings as needed.
An effort will be made to acknowledge all requests.

Requests for support should be mailed to:
