Ideal Applicant
A New York–area faith-based church or ministry (or small religious school/event) with an existing relationship or referral into the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Located in New York or serving the New York City area.
- • Religious or faith-based mission (churches, ministries, religious schools).
- • Requesting general operating support or event funding in the small-to-mid grant range (under ~$30k).
- • Has an existing relationship, prior contact, or endorsement from someone known to the trustees.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in New York (about 90% of 2024 dollars) despite a few small out-of-state awards, indicating a primarily local/metro footprint.
Recipient Variety
The foundation funded six distinct recipients in the latest year and supported multiple independent churches and religious organizations across three years, showing a moderate spread even though dollars are concentrated to a few beneficiaries.
New Applicants
Although four of six 2024 recipients were new, the foundation explicitly notes grants are by preselection/invitation and there is no public application route; this suggests unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio except via referral or invitation.
