Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized charities working in youth development or education, especially organizations with existing relationships or introductions into the foundation's network and programs located in New York.
Good Fit
- • Youth development or education programming that matches past grant purposes (retreats, scholarships, general operating support).
- • Located in New York or connected to New York-based activities in the latest year.
- • Capacity to accept general/unrestricted grants in the $10K–$50K range.
- • A prior relationship, board/introduction, or referral from a current grantee or contact.
Geography
In the latest year all reported grants were made to organizations in New York; earlier years showed a wider state spread, but the most recent observed footprint is narrowly concentrated in a single state.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded three distinct recipients in the latest year and funded five different organizations in 2023, with at least one repeat grantee across years, indicating a modest but not extensive variety given the foundation's small size.
New Applicants
The foundation formally declares it funds only preselected applicants and there is no public website or visible submission route; new recipients have appeared in past years, but the observable pattern and stated policy make unsolicited entry unlikely.
