Ideal Applicant
A local New York educational or disability service nonprofit with an established track record in preschool or school programs and strong ties to the foundation’s community or recurring grantees.
Good Fit
- • Organization provides preschool, school-based, or disability support services in the foundation’s county/region.
- • Has an established local presence and measurable program outcomes to demonstrate impact.
- • Has an existing relationship or introduction via a current or past grantee, board member, or local community leader.
- • Seeks grant sizes in the $20K–$40K range typical of recent awards.
Geography
Observed giving is geographically narrow: every grant in each observed year went to organizations in New York state, with an in-state share of 100%.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funds a small set of independent nonprofits (about four to five recipients per year) focused on schools and disability services; the same recipients recur across years, so the portfolio is concentrated but not limited to a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is limited and the foundation’s application information states it only accepts preselected applicants; combined with three years of repeat funding to the same small set of grantees, unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to gain entry without a formal introduction.
