Ideal Applicant
A New York–based community or faith‑based organization that provides direct services to newly arrived immigrants and can deploy a modest, time‑limited program (~$10–25k) addressing urgent settlement needs.
Good Fit
- • Organization is based in New York City or serves NYC neighborhoods.
- • Programs focus on direct services for newly arrived immigrants, asylum seekers, or vulnerable new arrivals.
- • Community or faith‑based centers with local outreach and rapid response capacity.
- • Project budget aligns with single‑year grants in the $10K–$25K range.
- • Willingness to describe immediate, demonstrable impact on newcomer families.
Geography
In the latest observed giving, all grants were to recipients located in New York state and in‑state giving accounted for 100% of grant dollars, indicating a locally concentrated footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct independent recipients (each receiving an equal award); this is a moderate spread for a single-year program but conclusions are limited by the single active giving year.
New Applicants
All six 2024 recipients were new to the funder, which suggests willingness to fund unfamiliar organizations, but there are no public application guidelines and multi‑year giving history with turnover is limited, so openness cannot be confirmed as high.
