Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-size 501(c)(3) community organizations—especially education, youth, arts, or local community groups—based in Connecticut or nearby New York communities seeking modest program or event support.
Good Fit
- • 501(c)(3) status and clear charitable purpose for a specific program or event.
- • A local or regional presence in Connecticut or nearby New York communities.
- • Requests for modest grants in the several-hundred to a few-thousand dollar range.
- • A concise, well-justified single-page letter describing a specific need or event.
- • Alignment with prior themes: education, youth programs, arts/culture, community services.
Geography
Grants appear across six states in the latest year, but about 96% of dollars went to Connecticut and New York with Connecticut alone receiving 55% of grant dollars, indicating a regional rather than national footprint.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 40 distinct recipients funded, spanning education, arts, and community groups; concentration metrics are modest (largest recipient ~11%, top five ~39%), so the portfolio is broad for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct multi-year turnover data is unavailable, but the combination of many distinct recipients in the latest year plus explicit application instructions, a named contact, and a rolling submission process suggests unfamiliar applicants have a plausible path to receive funding.
