Ideal Applicant
A 501(c)(3) public charity or government unit running patient- and caregiver-focused health programs (dementia, cancer, caregiver support), disaster relief, or community health initiatives that can receive modest to mid-sized grants and supply required documentation.
Good Fit
- • Programs serving patients, caregivers, older adults, or people affected by cancer or dementia.
- • Clear, project-specific requests with measurable objectives and a budget.
- • Ability to provide a W-9, recent financial statements, and organizational background.
- • Geographic presence in states the foundation has funded (examples include NJ, MA, CA, NY) or a program with national reach.
- • Requests for program support, disaster relief, respite care, or patient services at the scale of $5K–$100K.
Geography
In the latest year grants were made to recipients in 22 states and roughly one quarter of dollars remained in the foundation's home state, showing a multi-state, national footprint rather than a strictly local focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 67 distinct recipients with a wide range of missions (health, dementia, cancer support, disaster relief, food programs and youth STEM) and only a small set of repeat grantees, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set.
New Applicants
Direct evidence from the latest year shows a very high rate of new grantees (about 90% new), and the foundation publishes an application email and document requirements, so unfamiliar applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio despite filings that mention preselection.
