Ideal Applicant
An educational nonprofit, college, university program, or scholarship initiative seeking modest one-time grants (typically a few thousand dollars) with a clear educational purpose and preferably a regional connection to New York or Connecticut.
Good Fit
- • Request explicitly for an education program, scholarship, or college/university project.
- • Asking for a modest amount in the $2K–$5K range (or a single-digit-thousand award).
- • Ability to submit a concise written request and provide clear program/use details.
- • Some demonstrated connection to New York or Connecticut (regional ties may help).
- • New applicants or one-off project requests (the funder has supported new recipients).
Geography
The latest year shows grants across three states (NY, CT, IL) but dollars are concentrated in New York (about 64%), indicating a regional multi-state footprint rather than truly national reach.
Recipient Variety
Five distinct recipients were funded in the most recent year and there were no repeat grantees across the three observed years, which indicates a moderate spread of independent educational recipients for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence shows all five 2024 recipients were new entrants and there are zero repeat recipients across years, so unfamiliar applicants have demonstrably entered the portfolio despite the foundation's small size and selective focus.
