Ideal Applicant

A mid-sized nonprofit that provides operational support in education, youth development, community or human services, especially with a presence or partnerships in New York or a known relationship to the foundation or its intermediaries.

Good Fit

  • Provides general operational support for education, youth, or community programs.
  • Has an established program or presence in New York (where most dollars landed) or in one of the other states previously funded.
  • Is mid-sized and fiscally stable, similar to past grantees receiving six-figure or mid-five-figure awards.
  • Can be introduced via a board member, intermediary, or other trusted connection rather than relying on unsolicited applications.

Geography

Moderate

Observed grants cover seven states, so the foundation operates multi-state, but more than half of dollars in the latest year were concentrated in New York, indicating a regionally concentrated multi-state footprint.

Recipient Variety

Broad

The latest year shows 16 distinct recipients and 13 new grantees, and across two years only three repeats were observed, which indicates a broadly distributed recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.

New Applicants

Moderate

Behavioral evidence shows many newcomers in 2023, so the foundation does add new organizations, but filings and the record state grants are 'preselected' and there is no public submission route, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to succeed without an introduction or curator-driven selection.
