Ideal Applicant
A small, local or regional nonprofit with modest funding needs that fits community/memorial or similar charitable activities and that can be approached through relationship or invitation.
Good Fit
- • Requests in the small grant range (about $1,000–$2,500).
- • A mission closely aligned with community, memorial, or locally focused charitable activities.
- • Being known to trustees or introduced through local networks.
- • Located in the foundation state or region (New York or nearby).
- • Willingness to accept a mailed or offline approach rather than an online application.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year went to two states, with about 67% of dollars staying in the foundation state (New York) and the remainder to Texas, indicating a small regional footprint rather than purely local or national reach.
Recipient Variety
Only two distinct recipients were funded in the latest year and total grant activity is very small, so the observed recipient set is limited in breadth despite the recipients being independent and located in different states.
New Applicants
The foundation records that grants are by preselection rather than an open process and no website or public application portal was found; although the 2024 grantees were new that year, the combination of preselection and limited public access suggests unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to enter the portfolio without an introduction.
