Ideal Applicant
A U.S.-based nonprofit working on LGBTQ+ community support, advocacy, health/mental health, youth services, or arts/cultural projects—especially organizations seeking general operating support and those with programs or presence in New York.
Good Fit
- • Mission explicitly focused on LGBTQ+ communities or intersections with LGBTQ+ rights and services.
- • Request framed as general operating support or capacity building rather than a one-off capital ask.
- • Program or impact in New York or demonstrable work that benefits New York communities.
- • Budget request in the small-to-mid grant range (roughly $5K–$35K).
- • Ability to show community impact, youth or mental‑health services, or culturally specific programming.
Geography
Grantmaking in the latest year covered 11 states, with roughly one‑third of dollars going out of New York; the footprint is multi‑state but heavily weighted to NY (about 66% of 2024 dollars).
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded nearly 50 distinct organizations in 2024 with low dollar concentration (largest grantee ~6%, top five ~24%), indicating a broad and diverse recipient portfolio across service types.
New Applicants
Observed behavior shows substantial turnover and entry—25 new recipients in 2024—and the foundation lists a public grants page and grants email; although there are no formal application guidelines, both behavioral and contact cues support realistic access for unfamiliar applicants.
