Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize nonprofits that seek general operating support, especially organizations with a presence or programmatic ties in New York (and to a lesser extent Florida), and those that can be introduced or nominated rather than relying on an open application portal.
Good Fit
- • Requests for general operating support rather than narrowly restricted project funding
- • A demonstrable presence or programs in New York (primary state of giving)
- • Established local relationships or the ability to secure introductions to the foundation’s directors
- • Scale consistent with modest grants (several hundred to mid-five-figure awards)
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year covered three states, but New York dominated the dollar share (about 67%), indicating a state-level/regional footprint rather than a broad national program.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 13 distinct recipients (13 grants), with 10 new recipients that year and only three repeat grantees across the four-year record, reflecting a fairly broad and diverse recipient set for this-sized private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of open application access is lacking—the foundation’s metadata indicates it funds only preselected applicants and there is no public website—but the behavioral record shows many new grantees, so new entrants can appear to be added even if not via a public application process; the observed history does not confirm an open-call pathway.
