Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charities, especially health-related nonprofits, hospitals, and local religious or community organizations with an existing relationship or local tie to the foundation’s primary service area.
Good Fit
- • An established relationship or prior funding history with the foundation or its trustee/bank representative.
- • Organizational presence in New York (the dominant recipient state) or clear ties to that regional community.
- • Requests for general operating support in the small to mid grant-size range (roughly $4K–$15K).
- • Alignment with health, hospital, community service, or religious organizations similar to past grantees.
Geography
Observed grants span three states but are heavily concentrated in New York (about 80% of dollars), indicating a regional footprint rather than a national one.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded eight distinct recipients in the latest year, showing a modestly diverse recipient set for its size, though funding is concentrated among a stable group of grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation reports an invitation-only/preselected process and only one new recipient was added in the latest year while seven recipients repeated, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without a prior relationship or nomination.
