Ideal Applicant
A regional animal-welfare or conservation nonprofit (often small–mid size) seeking operating support, with clear governance and a track record of local impact in New Jersey/New York or nearby states.
Good Fit
- • Organization provides animal welfare, humane-society, or conservation services.
- • Operating budget and funding request align with typical grant sizes (roughly $5K–$150K range).
- • Strong local/regional presence in NJ/NY or an existing relationship or prior support link to the foundation’s named interests.
- • Clear governance documentation and the ability to supply board member names and tax ID in a written request.
Geography
Grants span six states in the latest year but are regionally concentrated; New Jersey and New York together receive the largest share, with one state receiving about 43% of dollars.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 24 distinct independent recipients (up from 12 three years earlier), showing a broad and growing recipient set despite some dollar concentration among the top recipients.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of new entrants exists (seven new grantees in the latest year) and application instructions are published, but the foundation also shows many repeat grantees and an explicit preference for organizations previously supported by the named individual or trustees, so openness is plausible but selective.
