Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized nonprofit or charity with an established track record and an existing relationship or introduction into the foundation’s network, especially organizations with operations or clear ties to New York.
Good Fit
- • Established nonprofit with several years of operating history and demonstrable impact.
- • Existing relationship or introduction to the trustees or current grantees.
- • Programs that align with general support funding (health, human services, food banks, women’s empowerment, education, or arts).
- • Presence or operations in New York, or a clear case for NY-focused impact.
Geography
Observed grants were paid to recipients in eight different states, indicating a multi-state footprint, although 65% of dollars were concentrated in New York.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 21 distinct independent organizations in each observed year, showing a broad recipient set even though giving is somewhat concentrated among the top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited: only one new grantee appeared in the latest year and the foundation explicitly indicates grants are to preselected organizations, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without introductions.
