Ideal Applicant
A small to mid-sized registered charity that fits the foundation’s informal giving themes (animal welfare, disaster response, veterans/community service), can absorb modest unrestricted grants, and can be introduced or nominated by a mutual contact or intermediary.
Good Fit
- • Mission overlap with animal welfare, disaster relief, veterans, or general community services.
- • Ability to use modest, general/unrestricted grants (~$1K–$2K).
- • Established nonprofit status and reputation (national or New York presence).
- • Existing relationship, introduction, or prior contact with the foundation’s officers or intermediaries.
- • Track record as a repeat grantee or partner of similar small private foundations.
Geography
Grants appear across multiple states (4 distinct states in 2024 and 3–6 across prior years) but are heavily weighted to New York, which received about 61% of 2024 dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows seven distinct independent recipients and the foundation made 6–9 grants annually over the observed period with five recurring grantees across years, indicating a moderate spread of beneficiaries rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
The foundation identifies that it only funds preselected applicants and has no public website or contact details; although new recipients have appeared (two in 2024), the declared 'preselected only' policy and absence of a visible public application route make unsolicited entry unlikely without a direct referral.
