Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize education or youth-development nonprofits (often faith-affiliated) with demonstrated program results, a New York presence or partner connection, and need for project-level grants in the $10k–$50k range.
Good Fit
- • Programs focused on K–12 education, scholarships, or youth leadership development
- • Faith-based or Jesuit-aligned mission or partnerships with Catholic schools and ministries
- • Established track record and prior relationships or referrals into the foundation's network
- • Geographic presence or program delivery in New York or the greater NYC area
- • Project budgets and requests that align with the foundation's common grant sizes ($10k–$50k)
Geography
Grants are centered in New York but also reach DC, NJ, CA and one overseas recipient; about 55% of dollars went to in-state recipients while grants were awarded across five states.
Recipient Variety
Each observed year shows about 21 distinct grantees covering education, youth development, refugee support, women’s empowerment and faith-based programs, indicating a broad mission and institutional spread for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover is limited but the observed pattern is relationship-driven: the latest year had only one new recipient and a high returning-recipient rate; a public 'request to apply' form exists, however the foundation also states it primarily funds preselected applicants, so independent new entrants appear possible but infrequent.
