Ideal Applicant
A New York-based education organization (school district, local school, or alumni foundation) that benefits children or women and has an existing local relationship or clear local reputation.
Good Fit
- • Organization is located in New York state.
- • Work directly benefits children or women (school programs, K–12 initiatives, alumni activities).
- • Request size matches recent grants (roughly $6,000–$24,000).
- • A prior relationship, referral, or local reputation with trustees or regional partners.
Geography
All observed grants across three years were made to recipients in New York, with 100% of dollars going to in‑state recipients.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows three distinct independent recipients and two new grantees in 2024, indicating some diversity for a micro foundation, though the overall pool across three years remains small.
New Applicants
The foundation states it only awards to preselected organizations and requires written requests, which suggests invitation-driven selection, but the appearance of two new recipients in 2024 shows new entrants are possible even if selection is selective and relationship-mediated.
