Ideal Applicant
Small-to-mid faith-based or community organizations (notably Muslim community centers, religious schools, local human-service groups, and regional education programs) with an existing record of service in New York or one of the other states funded and seeking modest program grants.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York or one of the eight states the foundation has funded.
- • Is a mosque, Islamic school, faith-based charity, or community service provider.
- • Has a track record of delivering local programs and measurable community impact.
- • Seeks modest grants in the typical $2K–$25K range.
- • Has an existing relationship or referral pathway to current grantees or community leaders.
- • Can demonstrate clear program alignment with previously funded purposes (charity, education, community services).
Geography
Giving appears multi-state across eight states, but funding is regionally concentrated: roughly half of dollars went to New York while the remainder is distributed across seven other states.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded 35 distinct recipients spanning mosques, faith-based charities, education programs and relief organizations; the portfolio shows both repeat support (22 returning grantees) and notable turnover (13 new grantees).
New Applicants
Behaviorally the foundation added 13 new recipients in the latest year, indicating new entrants can be funded, but the foundation also states it funds only preselected applicants and has no public website or clear contact path, so direct access for unfamiliar applicants appears possible but constrained and likely relationship-driven.
