Ideal Applicant
Mid-sized nonprofits or institutional programs (universities, health research centers, regional social service or civil-rights organizations) whose work aligns with the foundation's past grants (health, civil rights/equity, education, event support) and who can be introduced or recommended to the foundation.
Good Fit
- • Work in health research, equity/diversity programs, education, scholarships, or charitable-event fundraising.
- • Geographic presence or program activity in Connecticut, New York, DC, Pennsylvania, or Maryland.
- • A need for grants in the typical award range observed (~$5K–$50K).
- • Existing relationships or introductions to board members, past grantees, or local intermediaries.
Geography
Latest filings show grants to organizations in eight states with a clear regional concentration (about 31% of dollars to one state) but other significant awards to NY, DC, PA and MD.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 29 distinct recipients and roughly 32 grants including universities, national foundations, hospitals and local nonprofits, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for the foundation's size.
New Applicants
The foundation declares it funds only preselected recipients (no public open call), which limits direct application routes, but the observed history includes new grantees (11 in the latest year) so new entrants have been brought into the portfolio—likely via referral or invitation rather than open application.
