The Foundation’s grant-making activities are concentrated in the New York and Boston metropolitan areas.

The Foundation does not provide grants:

• to endowments or annual appeals;
• for pure medical research;
• for capital improvements other than in connection with the implementation of a specific program being supported;
• to individuals;
• to support events or outings.

Grants will be made only to qualified tax exempt organizations.

The Foundation will not consider a request for a multi-year grant from an applicant that has not previously been funded by the Foundation. After review of a grantee’s written report regarding a supported program, the Foundation may consider a request for additional funding.

From time to time the Foundation may choose to make grants which do not meet the Foundation’s usual criteria for consideration. Such grants will be made at the sole discretion of the Trustees and will not be subject to the Foundation’s standard application procedure.
