Ideal Applicant
Mid‑sized or local nonprofits with an existing relationship or presence in the foundation’s network—particularly organizations in New York or Florida working in general operating support areas such as health, education, human services, arts, or environment.
Good Fit
- • Has an established relationship or prior introduction to a trustee or existing grantee.
- • Operates programs or a local presence in New York or Florida where most dollars are focused.
- • Seeks general operating support or modest project grants in the typical gift range ($2k–$26k).
- • Is similar to past grantees (schools, research labs, health charities, community human services, arts organizations).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations across about ten states, with substantial shares in New York and Florida; the footprint is multi‑state rather than purely local.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 40 distinct recipients (and similar counts in prior years) spanning education, health, arts, environment, and human services, indicating a broad recipient set for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly restricts funding to preselected applicants and the latest year shows few new grantees (four), while most recipients are repeat grantees, so unsolicited new entrants are unlikely to be readily admitted.
