Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-size New York-based charities (particularly in the Adirondack/Willsboro area) working in conservation, local community development, churches, libraries or cultural preservation seeking modest general operating or project support.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York, ideally in or near the Adirondacks/Willsboro region
- • Requests modest grants in the $1K–$25K range or general operating support
- • Work aligns with conservation, local waterfront/community revitalization, churches, libraries, or regional cultural institutions
- • Existing local credibility or an introduction from a current grantee or community leader
Geography
In the latest available year 94% of grant dollars were directed to New York recipients, though a few small grants reached organizations in other states; overall giving is strongly concentrated in NY.
Recipient Variety
The foundation made 47 grants to 39 distinct recipients in the latest year across churches, conservation groups, libraries and local civic projects, indicating a broad set of independent grantees for a small private foundation despite some dollar concentration among the top recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation’s filings explicitly indicate grants are limited to preselected recipients; direct evidence of turnover cannot be assessed from one year of data, but the declared preselection and lack of a public application route make entry for unfamiliar applicants unlikely.
