Recent Grant Pattern
Since the foundation does not accept unsolicited applications, understanding recent grant patterns is critical for assessing potential fit:
- Geographic distribution: Based on most recent 990-PF grant records, grants have been made to organisations across the United States, with recipients at major universities and national environmental organisations
- Typical grantees: Elite universities and medical schools, scientific research societies focused on medical imaging, and well-established national/global environmental organisations
- Grant examples: Grants range from $500 to $415,000, with a median of approximately $22,200; the foundation tends to provide ongoing support to a core group of elite institutions year after year
What They Don't Fund
- Organisations based outside the United States
- The foundation appears to focus exclusively on well-established institutions and does not fund smaller grassroots organisations
Application Process & Timeline
The foundation does not accept unsolicited applications and does not maintain a website. The foundation appears to identify and select grantees through its own research and the trustees' professional networks. Given the founder's background as chief of MRI at New York Hospital and professor at Cornell and Columbia Universities, many grants reflect institutional connections.
