Geography
Grants in the latest year reached recipients in seven states, but a majority of dollars (about 61%) were concentrated in New York, indicating a multi-state footprint with a strong New York focus.
Recipient Variety
In 2023 the foundation funded 20 distinct recipients (20 grants) with a mix of colleges and universities and 14 new recipients that year, showing a broad recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Across two observed years the foundation added many new recipients (14 new in 2023) and publishes explicit submission instructions, a mailing address, a named contact, and a deadline, so unfamiliar eligible applicants appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio.
