Grants to standing beneficiaries may increase or decrease from year to year subject to need and available resources.
Grants to temporary beneficiaries will usually be subject to decreasing amounts over the life of the grant unless they are specifically championed by one of the trustees.
Standing beneficiaries will be eligible to receive annual grants.
Temporary beneficiaries will be eligible to receive funding for up to three consecutive years, after which the recipient must take a one-year hiatus without any grants.
Grantees will be limited to organizations located in Maryland, with preference to organizations located in greater Baltimore, unless the non-local requester provides unique services to the Baltimore Jewish community.
The Foundation devotes 70% to 80% of its funds to support Jewish education in Maryland, mostly in greater Baltimore, and 20% to 30% to encourage violence prevention programs to benefit Baltimore and Maryland youth.

The board reserves the option to make grants at other times where there are extenuating circumstances.
