Ideal Applicant
A New York–based public charity (preferably local to Newburgh) running a capital/building project or campaign, especially a faith-based organization seeking written, mailed support.
Good Fit
- • Request is for capital or building-related support.
- • Applicant is a registered public charity (501(c)(3)).
- • Project serves the Newburgh/greater New York community.
- • Applicant can submit a clear written application with budgets and documentation.
- • Local introduction or existing relationship to trustees or community leaders.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year is entirely concentrated in New York, with grants all made to an organization in Newburgh.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation made four grants but they were all to one distinct recipient, so observed recipient variety is very limited; multi-year patterns are not available.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover across years is unavailable, but the foundation publishes application instructions (written submissions), a named trustee contact, and a rolling deadline which suggest an entry route; however the behavioral pattern in 2021 shows funding to a single recipient, so openness to unfamiliar applicants cannot be confirmed.
