Ideal Applicant
A registered 501(c)(3) public charity (not a private foundation) in New York or New Jersey proposing capital improvements or equipment purchases with a clear project budget and audited financials.
Good Fit
- • Project is a one-time capital purchase, facility renovation, or equipment investment.
- • Organization is a public charity eligible under 509(a)(1) or (2).
- • Applicant operates in NYC or Essex/Morris/Union counties in New Jersey (regional focus).
- • Application can provide an audited financial statement or recent Form 990 and a project budget.
- • Ability to meet the foundation's online application requirements and deadlines.
Geography
Grants are regionally concentrated: 59% of dollars went to New York and the remainder mainly to New Jersey, with four states listed but two of them showing no share; the footprint is multi-state but regional rather than national.
Recipient Variety
In 2022 the foundation made 536 grants to 535 distinct recipients, indicating a very broad and diverse recipient set and low dollar concentration (top five recipients only ~5%).
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover across years is unavailable, but the foundation maintains a public website, posts application guidelines and required documents, and runs an online application portal with spring and fall windows, which implies unfamiliar organizations can apply.
