Ideal Applicant
An established health or faith‑based nonprofit working on mothers, children, clergy welfare, with an existing local or referral relationship and program activity in New York or demonstrated alignment with the foundation's priorities.
Good Fit
- • Track record in maternal or child health, faith‑based social services, or clergy support.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior partnership with the foundation or current grantees.
- • Programs or service presence in New York (or a clear NY component).
- • Organizational capacity matching prior grant sizes (roughly $10k–$190k).
Geography
Giving is concentrated in New York (about 76% of dollars) but grants also reached three other states in the latest year, indicating a state‑centered footprint with some out‑of‑state awards.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows ten distinct grantees, which is a moderately broad recipient set for a small private foundation, though funding is heavily concentrated among a few large recipients (top five ≈85%).
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows very low turnover (nine of ten recipients repeated from the prior year) and the foundation's materials indicate grants are to preselected organizations, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without an introducer.
