Grants

Overview

The Lucius N. Littauer Foundation makes grants in the areas of education, social welfare, Jewish communal life and Judaica libraries and archives. Most of our grants are made to organizations in the New York Metropolitan area and in Israel. In addition, we are proud to continue to support various institutions in Mr. Littauer’s home town, Gloversville, NY.

Except in rare cases and longstanding commitments, the Foundation does not support religious activities and no longer provides subventions for the publication of monographs or exhibit catalogs.

The Foundation only makes grants to organizations with 501(c)(3) certification. Organizations based outside the United States must be affiliated with such an organization in order to receive support. We do not make grants to individuals.

We are not currently accepting applications.

The Foundation has completed its grant making for 2025 and the application portal is no longer available. Please check back in January 2026.
