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
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
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
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.
