Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized faith-based organizations, yeshivas, congregations or local welfare/service groups in New York with clear, time‑specific requests submitted by letter.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York (in‑state recipient footprint).
- • Religious, educational, or local welfare mission consistent with prior grantees.
- • Ability to submit a concise written letter request by the stated October 15 deadline.
- • Preparedness to receive modest one-time grants or occasional larger support tied to specific institutional needs.
Geography
Observed grants across all three years were confined to New York state, with a 100% in‑state share in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a relatively broad set of independent recipients (13 distinct organizations, many small grants) spanning congregations, schools and welfare groups, but dollars are highly concentrated in one large recipient.
New Applicants
Behavior shows high turnover with many new grantees in the latest year (11 new recipients) and a clear submission route (named contact, address, phone and a letter‑request deadline), indicating unfamiliar applicants can plausibly enter the portfolio.
