Ideal Applicant
A small local New York nonprofit (often church-affiliated, scholarship program, or community service group) seeking modest general operating support or one-time program grants and able to secure an invitation or local introduction.
Good Fit
- • Based in New York (particularly Oyster Bay area).
- • Religious institution, local community center, scholarship program, or small social-service provider.
- • Seeking modest one-time grants or general operating support (typical awards under $10K).
- • Has local relationships or introductions to trustees, recurring grantees, or community leaders.
- • Programs that align with church/community-focused giving (scholarships, food outreach, local events).
Geography
Observed grants across all three years are concentrated in a single state (New York), with many recipients located in the Oyster Bay area.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded about 14–18 distinct recipients per year in the observed years, with many different church, scholarship, and community organizations rather than a single captive beneficiary.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected applicants and no public application route is visible; although many new grantees appear in the data, those additions look invitation-driven rather than the result of an open application process.
