Ideal Applicant
A small New York–based school, alumni group, church, or local community nonprofit with ties to the York Castle alumni network and a request scoped for a one-time, modest project.
Good Fit
- • Organization operates in New York or serves communities tied to the York Castle alumni network.
- • Direct ties or introductions from alumni, board members, or partnering local organizations.
- • Project focuses on education, scholarships, food assistance, athletics support, or short-term medical/supply needs.
- • Request is for a modest, one-time grant (roughly under $7K).
- • Capacity to accept a restricted or purpose-specific gift and to provide brief reporting or acknowledgement.
Geography
Observed giving is heavily concentrated in New York (2023 dollars were effectively all in-state); a small Connecticut gift appeared in earlier history, but the footprint is primarily local to New York.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows eight distinct independent grantees, and over two years the foundation supported multiple organizations rather than a single beneficiary, but dollars are concentrated in a few recipients.
New Applicants
Based on the two-year record (seven repeat grantees and only one new recipient in 2023) and the foundation's statement that it funds only preselected recipients, unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to be added despite the visible website and contact information.
