Ideal Applicant
Established health or education nonprofits in the New Jersey/New York regional footprint with existing ties or credible introductions to the foundation or its grantees.
Good Fit
- • Work in medical, cancer-related, or education programs similar to past grantees.
- • Organizational scale able to absorb grants in the $5k–$250k range.
- • Known relationship, referral, or prior collaboration with recurring grantees or foundation contacts.
- • Located in or serving the Northeast (NJ/NY-centric) region.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in the Northeast: recent years show grants in New York and New Jersey (with additional recipients in PA and RI in 2023), indicating a regional rather than national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows three distinct recipients but the three-year history includes as many as six different grantees in 2023 and some repeat recipients, so the portfolio is modest in size with a mix of repeat and new organizations.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly lists an invitation/preselected-only process and there is no public website or contact information; although new recipients appeared in past years, the observed behavior and stated preselection make it unlikely that unfamiliar applicants can easily enter the portfolio.
