Ideal Applicant
A small-to-midsize nonprofit (especially arts, education, or general charity) with New York presence seeking $5K–$25K program or operating support and able to apply by mailed letter.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in New York or has a demonstrable NY program or impact.
- • Program aligns with arts, education, or general charitable purposes.
- • Request size fits the foundation's typical $5K–$25K grants.
- • Applicant can submit a concise mailed letter and provide clear program outcomes.
- • Ability to demonstrate local credibility or prior relationship with the board or officers.
Geography
Giving is heavily New York–centred in the latest year, with roughly 78% of dollars going to NY recipients and only limited awards to two other states; the footprint is therefore locally concentrated.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 11 distinct recipients across arts, education, and general charities, and most grants were to different organizations rather than a tiny recurring set, indicating a broad recipient mix for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
Across two years the foundation added many new grantees (9 new recipients in 2022) and only two repeat recipients were observed; combined with explicit application instructions (rolling deadline, 'by letter') this behavior supports a high likelihood that unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio.
