Ideal Applicant
Small historical or cultural‑heritage organizations tied to Huguenot history, libraries or local historical societies, and individual students of Huguenot ancestry seeking modest scholarship support.
Good Fit
- • Clear connection to Huguenot heritage or historical preservation work
- • Scholarship applicants who can document Huguenot ancestry
- • Request sizes in the small award range (roughly $3K–$15K)
- • Willingness to request the application form and meet the May 1 deadline
- • Local or regional projects, especially in New York or the states the funder has recently supported
Geography
In the latest year grants went to recipients in seven states; New York accounted for about 42% of dollars while the remainder was distributed across six other states.
Recipient Variety
In 2024 the foundation funded 12 distinct recipients with 14 grants and a large share (9 of 12) were new that year, and awards included both scholarships and donations, indicating a broad recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows a public scholarship application process (form available by request and a May 1 deadline) and substantial turnover in 2024 (nine new grantees), so unfamiliar applicants who meet the scholarship eligibility or mission alignment appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio, though scholarship eligibility is limited to Huguenot ancestry.
