Ideal Applicant
A small or local nonprofit (often in New York) with a religious, community, educational, or scientific purpose that already has an introduction or relationship into the foundation’s network and seeks modest discretionary support.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York state or active with programs there.
- • Mission aligns with religious, community, education, or scientific causes.
- • Has an existing relationship or introduction to the trustee or recurring grantees.
- • Seeks modest, one-time or small operating/project grants (typically under $5K).
Geography
Grants appear in 11 states overall, indicating a multi-state footprint, though about 70% of dollars were concentrated in New York in the latest year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 26 distinct recipients (and 37 the prior year) across religious, community, educational, and scientific purposes, showing a broad set of independent grantees despite some dollar concentration.
New Applicants
Direct application access appears closed—records and the foundation’s default application indicate funding is by preselection—so although 10 new grantees appeared in the latest year, unsolicited applicants are unlikely to gain entry without a referral or relationship.
