C&y Foundation (lawrence, Ny, Ein 04-3666136)

• The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should not send a cold application and should first look for an introduction through someone already connected to it.
• The filing shows grants to religious congregations and Jewish educational institutions, mainly in New York, and no geographic focus is stated, so the fit is clearest for organisations of that kind.
• Typical grants fall between $50,000 and $370,000, with a median of $100,000, but half of its grants were $100,000 or less, so a request should be sized toward the lower part of that range rather than the largest grant of about $370,000.
• About 75% of its grant dollars to organisations went to groups it had already funded in earlier filings, so a first grant is likely to depend on a relationship rather than an open process.
