Ideal Applicant
A New York-based nonprofit serving older adults or disabled New Yorkers with established programs (meals, home visits, respite, geriatric training, emergency alert or community services) seeking project support in the $10k–$60k range.
Good Fit
- • Programs specifically for older adults or disabled New Yorkers
- • Located in New York City / Brooklyn or serving NYC neighborhoods
- • Program budgets and one-year project requests in the typical $10k–$60k grant range
- • Established track record with measurable service delivery (meals, home safety, respite, geriatric training)
- • Ability to demonstrate local community impact and fiscal responsibility
Geography
Observed giving is entirely in New York state and concentrated in New York City/Brooklyn based on grantee cities and filings.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 23 distinct recipients (and 22 in the earlier observed year), spanning health, meals, respite, research and community programs; this indicates a broad set of independent grantees for the foundation's scale.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover—12 new grantees in 2024—and the foundation publishes a contact page and director email, so unfamiliar local organizations appear plausibly able to enter the portfolio despite no formal application guidelines.
