Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charities (often faith-based, educational, or health-related) with some geographic or relational connection to the foundation, or with an introduced/referral relationship to board members or existing grantees.
Good Fit
- • Previous relationship with the foundation, its board, or an introduced intermediary.
- • Programs in religious education, health charities, or small educational institutions (areas seen repeatedly in grants).
- • Requests for modest operating or program support rather than large capital grants.
- • Located in or serving New York or nearby states, or able to demonstrate local relevance.
Geography
Observed giving spans about 16 states in the latest year, indicating multi-state reach, although nearly half of the dollars were concentrated in one state (about 49% in New York).
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 94 distinct recipients and dozens of small grants across education, religious institutions, health charities and community groups, and the foundation funded many independent organizations rather than a single beneficiary.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected recipients and does not publish an open submission route; while 15 new recipients appeared in 2024 (and ~19 in 2023), those entries appear to come via invitation or referral rather than an open application process.
