Ideal Applicant
A known or referral-recommended nonprofit working on general community services or health/medical programs, especially organizations operating in the foundation's regional focus (primarily one northeastern state and New York).
Good Fit
- • Located in the foundation's observed focus states (especially the state receiving most dollars).
- • Programs in general community services, health care, or medical research.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior connections to trustees, known grantees, or regional intermediaries.
- • Capacity to manage grants in the roughly $25K–$100K range.
Geography
Recent giving spans two states, with a strong concentration (about two-thirds) in a single state and the balance in New York; the foundation is based elsewhere but funds regionally rather than nationally.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct independent recipients with five returning from the prior year and two new entrants, indicating a moderate but not extensive spread of grantees.
New Applicants
The foundation states it funds only preselected applicants and no public contact or website is visible, so unsolicited applicants are unlikely to be a primary route; however, two new recipients did appear in the latest year, so occasional new entrants are possible via referrals.
