Key takeaways

  • The foundation makes general operating grants to charitable organisations, and its recipients span hospital-related, education and scholarship, food-assistance, religious, youth-development and social-service work, so a range of causes may fit.
  • Its filing shows most grants going to New York and New Jersey, but no geographic focus is stated, so a request from elsewhere is not ruled out.
  • Typical grants run from $25,000 to $75,000, with about 8 in 10 of its 54 grants in that band and half at $35,000 or less, so a request near the middle of that range is realistic, though its largest grant was $200,000.
  • Only 501(c)(3) organisations can receive awards, so confirm that status first.
  • Send a letter briefly describing the project objective and the areas for which assistance is requested; the filing gives no deadlines, and the foundation is described as accepting applications.
