Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize U.S. charities seeking modest, one-time general support and that align with prior areas (health, community service, religious or animal welfare) and that can be introduced through an existing contact or intermediary.
Good Fit
- • Request is for modest general support (several hundred to a few thousand dollars).
- • Mission matches previously funded categories (health nonprofits, community service clubs, faith-based groups, or animal rescue).
- • Organization operates in states where the foundation has recently given (NY, AZ, GA, TX) or has national reach.
- • There is a board-level, donor, or mutual-contact introduction available.
Geography
In the latest year the foundation funded recipients in four different states (NY, AZ, GA, TX); giving appears multi-state rather than strictly local, though New York received roughly half of 2024 dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows five distinct recipients across multiple mission areas and only one repeating grantee from the prior year, indicating a modestly diverse recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected recipients and no public application route or contact details were found; although four new grantees appeared in 2024, that pattern is consistent with invitation-driven selection rather than open unsolicited entry.
