Ideal Applicant

Small to mid-sized charities working in health (notably Parkinson’s-related), local community services, animal welfare, education, or cultural/historical preservation with a clear local or referral connection to the foundation or its network.

Good Fit

  • Programs or projects aligned with health/medical charities (Parkinson’s support or research).
  • Local presence or program activity in New York, particularly Westchester/nearby communities.
  • Modest funding requests (small, one-time or annual awards rather than large multi-year budgets).
  • An existing introduction or referral from someone connected to the foundation or its directors.
  • Organizational profile similar to prior grantees (schools, small cultural groups, local animal welfare groups).

Geography

Broad

Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations across nine states, indicating a multi-state footprint, though a large share of dollars was concentrated in New York.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 28 distinct recipients and prior years show similar or larger counts (34 and 50), with a meaningful number of independent organizations funded and a mix of returning and new grantees.

New Applicants

Restrictive

The foundation explicitly indicates it only funds preselected applicants, and no public application route or contact details were found; although new recipients do appear in the observed years, access for unfamiliar applicants appears invitation- or referral-based rather than open.
