Ideal Applicant
A small, Delaware County (Hobart / Stamford area) community nonprofit or service organization seeking modest operating support or scholarships.
Good Fit
- • Located in Delaware County, NY (Hobart, Stamford, South Kortright area)
- • Requesting general operating support or small program grants (typical asks ≈ $1K–$5K)
- • Community service mission (churches, volunteer fire/ambulance, local schools, youth sports, scholarships)
- • Ability to submit a concise letter application including basic financials and tax classification
- • Willingness to accept rolling review and modest, multi-year relationship-based support
Geography
Observed giving is concentrated in New York with an explicit restriction to Delaware County; the foundation’s dollars are effectively local to the Hobart/Stamford area despite a few token out-of-state grant counts.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 28 distinct recipients and similar counts in prior years, covering churches, schools, volunteer fire and ambulance squads, youth leagues, and scholarship funds, indicating a broad set of independent local beneficiaries for a micro foundation.
New Applicants
The funder shows both repeat support (about 23 recurring recipients) and some new entrants (five new recipients in the latest year), and the filing includes letter-format application instructions; this suggests new applicants can gain entry but selection appears relationship- and community-driven.
