Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized educational, research, or conservation nonprofits with proven impact and some connection to the foundation’s network (especially organizations with a New York presence or relationships).
Good Fit
- • Established school, university, or nonprofit with a history of program stability.
- • Located in or connected to New York (or one of the other five states previously funded).
- • Alignment with general‑purpose philanthropic support rather than tightly restricted project funding.
- • Existing relationship, introduction, or prior contact with trustees or advisors.
Geography
Grants reached six states in the latest year, showing a multi‑state footprint, but just over half of dollars were concentrated in one state, indicating a regional bias toward New York.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows funding to 16 distinct, independent recipients across education, research, and conservation, with a mix of returning and new grantees rather than a tiny closed recipient list.
New Applicants
The foundation added seven new recipients in the latest year, so it does bring new organizations into the portfolio, but it publicly declares that it funds only preselected applicants and lacks a public application route, limiting straightforward access for unfamiliar applicants.
