Ideal Applicant
Small or local charities (health, community services, cultural/education, and public-television–type organizations) seeking modest grants (typically under $5K) and with some connection or visibility to the foundation’s network.
Good Fit
- • Requests for relatively small grants (most awards are under $5,000).
- • Organization operates in New York or a state already in the foundation’s recipient list.
- • Program areas match prior purposes: health, community services, cultural heritage, education, or public television.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior visibility to trustees or their network.
Geography
Grants reached organizations in 14 states in the latest year, showing multi-state reach, but just over half of dollars were concentrated in New York (about 53%), indicating a strong state focus within a broader footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 49 distinct recipients with 30 new grantees and 19 repeat recipients, and awards span health, community, cultural, and education purposes, so the observed recipient set is broadly diverse for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Behavior shows substantial turnover and many new grantees (30 new recipients in 2024), but the foundation’s stated 'preselected only' practice, lack of public website, and absence of contact details suggest newcomers are likely admitted via nomination or relationships rather than an open public application.
