Ideal Applicant
Small to midsize nonprofits or community organizations (especially health, hospital, youth, food security, and event-based groups) serving New York communities or running fundraising events/sponsorships.
Good Fit
- • Asks framed as event sponsorships or program/event support rather than large multi-year general operating grants
- • Organization serves Northern, Central, or Southern New York (or runs a regional event)
- • Request fits the foundation’s published timing (submitted at least one month before the board meeting)
- • Budget line items at the typical grant scale (many grants cluster below $25K)
Geography
Observed giving is regionally concentrated: about 68% of dollars stayed in New York while grants also reached six other states (seven states total), showing a primarily in‑state focus with some out‑of‑state activity.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows roughly 119 distinct recipients (similar counts in prior years) across hospitals, community groups, health organizations, youth programs and event sponsors, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
A public Request Funding form and published submission instructions exist, and the 2024 filing shows about 34 new recipients alongside 85 returning grantees, indicating clear opportunity for unfamiliar applicants to enter the portfolio.
