Ideal Applicant
Organizations working in the foundation's stated program areas (arts and culture, environment, youth development, civil and social justice, and nuclear disarmament), particularly those with a track record or a credible project in New York or an established relationship or referral into the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Programmatic alignment with arts, environment, youth, social justice, or nuclear policy work.
- • A clear project or capacity-building/capital need that matches past grant purposes.
- • Existing relationship, introduction, or referral from a current grantee or board contact.
- • A track record of operations or measurable impact that supports general operating or project support requests.
- • Presence or demonstrated impact in New York (or a clear NY connection) for higher likelihood of larger awards.
Geography
Grants in the latest year reached recipients in 24 states, indicating a multi-state footprint, although roughly half of grant dollars were concentrated in New York.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows over 200 distinct recipients and nearly 300 grants across diverse mission areas, with low dollar concentration (largest grantee ≈3%, top five ≈13%), so the observed recipient set is broad.
New Applicants
Direct application appears limited—the foundation explicitly uses a preselection/invitation model—but the data show a substantial number of new grantees (84 in the latest year) so new entrants are possible, likely through nomination, referral, or proactive identification rather than an open RFP.
