Ideal Applicant
An established nonprofit seeking unrestricted operational support in civil rights, LGBTQ+ services, environmental conservation, or animal welfare, with presence or activity in the foundation's target states (notably New York) and either an existing relationship or credible introduction.
Good Fit
- • Operational support requests sized between roughly $25K and $125K.
- • Work in civil rights, social justice, LGBTQ+ services, environmental conservation, or animal welfare.
- • Established organization able to accept multi-year or unrestricted support.
- • Presence or programs in New York or other states the foundation has funded.
- • A board, funder, or partner who can make a direct introduction to the foundation.
Geography
Observed grants in 2023 were distributed across six states, but roughly half of the dollars were concentrated in New York, indicating multi-state reach with a clear regional concentration.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 19 distinct recipients spanning civil rights, LGBTQ+ services, environment and animal welfare; the portfolio includes both repeat grantees (11) and new entrants (8), suggesting a broad recipient set for this foundation's size.
New Applicants
Direct evidence shows eight new grantees in the most recent year, so new entrants have been added, but the foundation explicitly states it funds only preselected recipients and offers no public application route, so access for unfamiliar applicants is limited in practice.
