  • Able to apply through or be identified for the foundation’s posted scholarship process

Geography

Restrictive

Observed giving in the latest year is entirely concentrated in New York; all grants and grant counts were reported to New York recipients.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 27 grants to 26 distinct recipients (mostly individual scholarships), indicating a broad spread of independent recipients within the award type despite the funder’s small size.

New Applicants

Broad

The latest year shows 26 new recipients and an online scholarship application is published on the website, supporting a high plausibility that unfamiliar applicants can access awards; filings also note preselection which creates some mixed signals, and multi-year turnover cannot be fully tested.
