Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation’s website identifies food insecurity, home-based care, respite and support for family caregivers, safety and elder abuse, social work and case management, and transportation as focus areas. It funds not-for-profits and local governments for programs and projects serving older adults aged 60 and older and their caregivers in its three-county service area.
For full grant requests, eligibility criteria include an annual operating budget of at least $1 million, a full-time paid executive director, and a history of direct services to older adults or caregivers in the area—or interest in expanding a program there. The first two criteria do not apply to small grant requests. The foundation does not fund individuals, other foundations, operating support, major capital projects, research, scholarships, loans, or endowments.
Examples of grantees’ work include Family Services of Westchester’s social and mental health services for families and individuals, and Visiting Nurse Services in Westchester’s community-based home health care. These are descriptions of the grantees, not the foundation’s own programs.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the foundation made 61 grants totaling $845,460. Grants ranged from $1,000 to $60,000, with a median grant of $10,490.

The foundation’s website describes small grants of up to $15,000 and full grants above that amount. Small grants may support project or program creation, expansion, or support, as well as minor capital improvements. Full grants may support project or program creation, expansion, or support. Requests above $50,000 may be considered for exceptional programs and must be discussed with the foundation before submitting a Letter of Inquiry (LOI). The website says priority is given to new projects and programs, collaborations, and organizations not previously funded. Previous grantees may submit a new request two years after receiving a grant, based on the grant cycle.
