Ideal Applicant
An established educational institution or regional nonprofit (historic preservation or education-focused) with an existing relationship or credible introduction and capacity to manage mid-sized grants.
Good Fit
- • Strong program alignment with education, school support, or historic preservation.
- • Organizational presence or operations in New York (or a nearby state).
- • An existing connection or referral to a board member, director, or current grantee.
- • Ability to absorb and manage grants in the $25K–$150K range.
Geography
Giving is regionally concentrated: in 2024 roughly 69% of dollars went to New York, but grants also went to two other states, so the footprint spans multiple states rather than only a single locality.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows five distinct recipients and the three-year history shows 5–8 recipients annually with some repeat grantees and a handful of new entrants, indicating a moderate spread of independent beneficiaries.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly declares it funds only preselected applicants and no public application route or website was found; although a few new recipients appear across the observed years, selection appears invitation-driven rather than open to unsolicited applicants.
