Ideal Applicant
A locally rooted New York nonprofit (especially in Delaware County/Catskills) seeking operating support, scholarships, capital repairs, or community program funding that can follow the foundation's published application instructions.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York, preferably within the foundation's service area or Catskills region
- • Project requests for operating support, scholarships, building repairs, equipment, or community programming
- • Ability to submit the required attachments and meet stated deadlines via the email application route
- • Project budgets at typical grant sizes (many awards at $5K median, with some awards up to several hundred thousand)
- • Demonstrated local community impact or historic/cultural preservation focus
Geography
Observed giving is overwhelmingly state-focused: about 98% of dollars and grants went to New York recipients, with most activity clustered in the Catskills/Delaware County area despite a few out-of-state grants.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 161 distinct recipients across varied purposes (scholarships, operating support, building repairs, youth programs, cultural organizations), with 267 grants indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct application instructions are published on the website and accepted by email, and 74 new recipients appeared in the latest year (roughly 46% of recipients), which together indicate a real pathway for unfamiliar applicants.
