Ideal Applicant
A small, local New York community organization (church, school, fire department, food pantry, or historical group) seeking funding for a concrete capital or project need and able to secure a local trustee or bank referral.
Good Fit
- • Based in the Harpursville/Colesville area of New York.
- • Project-specific capital needs (parking, equipment, restoration, facility or gear purchases).
- • Existing relationship or referral from a trustee or the bank trustee (NBT Bank NA).
- • Request sizes roughly within the observed $1K–$38K range.
- • Clear evidence of local community impact and fiscal accountability.
Geography
Observed giving in both available years was entirely within New York, concentrated on organizations in the Harpursville/Colesville area, indicating a narrow local geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct recipients (eight in the prior filing) including churches, the school district, the fire department, a cemetery association and a food pantry—a modestly varied local portfolio—though dollars are heavily concentrated among the top five recipients.
New Applicants
The foundation's filings state grants are to preselected recipients and there is no public application route or contact info; while two new grantees appeared in 2024, that pattern is consistent with invitation-based additions rather than an open application process.
