Ideal Applicant
A New York-based small-to-midsize nonprofit (education, cultural, health, faith-based, municipal, food security, or youth services) seeking modest unrestricted or program support in the typical $1K–$30K range.
Good Fit
- • Primary program or service located in New York or serving NY communities.
- • Request aligns with operating or program support and can be described as unrestricted or general-support needs.
- • Project size matches the foundation's typical grant amounts (many awards in the $5K–$25K band).
- • Local track record or references within the foundation's service area (Capital Region / upstate NY).
Geography
Giving is heavily focused on New York: in the latest year 95% of dollars and over 90% of grant counts went to NY recipients, with only five other states represented.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 69 distinct grantees (61 new that year) across education, cultural, health, religious and municipal sectors, and low dollar concentration (top five = 17%), indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence supports openness: three years of filings show many first-time grantees (61 new recipients in 2024) and the foundation publishes an online application page and submission guidance, so unfamiliar applicants appear likely to be considered despite some language about preselection.
