Geography
Observed awards in the latest year went to recipients in 27 states; about one-third of dollars went to New York while roughly two-thirds supported out‑of‑state recipients, indicating a national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded 59 distinct recipients in 2024 (similar volume in prior years) with only 11 repeat recipients across the three years observed, showing a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports new entrant access: 81% of 2024 recipients were new, the foundation publishes application instructions on its website, and a named contact and mailing/phone route are provided; this combination makes entry by unfamiliar applicants plausibly likely.
