Invitation only
Unsolicited applications are not accepted

This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.

Key takeaways

  • The foundation is by invitation only and states that it does not accept unsolicited requests, so do not send it a cold application.
  • Its reported annual giving is $133,918,960, but the filing gives no grant range and no geographic focus, so it is not possible to tell from the record what size of request would be realistic or whether your area is covered.
  • Its grants are described only as general charitable purposes, and the recipients are not named, so there is no stated field to match your work against.
  • The only route the record supports is a warm introduction from someone who already knows the foundation, so spend time on it only if you have such a contact.

Overview

S&G Foundation is a US private foundation based in Albany, NY.

What they fund

Profile based on the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) only: no website or other web source for the foundation was found. Every statement is checked against the filings. Sources read on 12 October 2026.

Priority Areas

The foundation states that its primary purpose is to support, by contributions, other charitable organisations exempt under section 501(c)(3). Its filings describe grants as being for general charitable purposes, but the grant rows do not identify the recipient organisations. The available record therefore supports only a broad description: contributions to other exempt charitable organisations, without a stated focus on a particular charitable field, kind of recipient, or place. It gives no further account in the materials reviewed of how trustees select recipients or what characteristics they favour.

How to apply

The foundation states that it does not accept unsolicited requests.
