Ideal Applicant
An established education, arts, or human-services nonprofit with a proven track record and capacity to manage mid-to-large restricted or unrestricted grants, preferably known to the foundation or its partners.
Good Fit
- • Work primarily in education, charter/STEM initiatives, arts, or human services.
- • Capacity to absorb six-figure or larger grants and manage restricted campaign support.
- • Existing relationships or introductions to foundation trustees, staff, or known grantees/intermediaries.
- • Presence or demonstrated impact in states the foundation often funds (e.g., New York, DC, CO, VA).
Geography
Observed giving spans nearly 28 states in the latest year, with roughly 69% of dollars outside the foundation's home state despite a 31% concentration in New York.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 144 distinct recipients (and similar counts in prior years) including many independent national and local organizations; repeat funding is common but the overall recipient set is broad.
New Applicants
The foundation publicly states it does not accept unsolicited requests and operates on a preselected basis, yet filings show about 24 new recipients in 2024; this suggests occasional new entrants but primarily invitation- or relationship-driven access.
