Ideal Applicant
Established nonprofits that match the foundation’s broad thematic interests and are likely to be identified or solicited (especially organizations in NY, CA or DC and national/regional advocacy, health, education, or community-service groups).
Good Fit
- • Programs aligning with general support for health, civil rights, education, or community services.
- • Organizational profile visible to networks that the foundation or its officers use for sourcing grantees.
- • Capacity to receive unrestricted or general support grants at mid-sized levels ($10k–$250k).
- • Located in or operating in states where the foundation routinely gives (notably NY, CA, DC).
Geography
The latest year’s grants went to recipients in 15 states and the foundation consistently funds organizations across multiple states, though one state received a larger share (around 39%).
Recipient Variety
The most recent filing shows 76 distinct recipients in one year with 69 new recipients that year and only seven repeats across the observed period, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of an open application route is absent and the fund explicitly marks grants as preselected, but the high number of new grantees in the latest year shows the foundation frequently brings new organizations into its portfolio—suggesting new entrants can be funded, though typically via solicitation or referral rather than a public application.
