- • Requests sized in the small-to-mid grant range (a few thousand up to ~$20,000).

Geography
Observed giving across all three years is entirely within New York, with the foundation stating restrictions that serve Gloversville and Fulton County; the latest year shows grants only to NY-based organizations.
Recipient Variety
Each year funds roughly six to seven distinct local organizations across sectors (food pantry, churches, historical societies, animal welfare, youth sports), indicating a moderate spread of independent recipients despite dollar concentration in the top five.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants appears in the latest year (four new recipients) and the filing includes a defined annual deadline plus instructions to request an application form by mail, which together support a high plausibility that unfamiliar local applicants can access funding.
