Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation says it works to foster communities where people do not face homelessness, hunger, or a lack of essential mental health support alone. It describes health broadly, including chronic disease management, environmental health, and family health. Its website also identifies homelessness prevention, community health initiatives, food scarcity prevention, behavioral health assistance, and the social dynamics of health as areas of focus.
The foundation makes restricted grants to eligible nonprofit organizations. Its website says grants are limited to private nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status that are not private foundations; it does not make grants to individuals or government agencies. Among its 2024 grantees, Transcend Outreach Center described its mission as providing social services to Irvington residents. CareSparc Community Connections said it collaborates with underserved communities and service providers to advance health equity and public health outcomes. Other grantees described missions that included helping girls grow into healthy women, promoting youth health and education, and supporting marginalized communities.

The foundation’s filing states that it makes contributions only to preselected charitable organizations and does not accept unsolicited requests. Its grants page describes a preliminary Letter of Intent (LOI) process: applicants submit an LOI through the foundation’s website, and those meeting its criteria may be invited to submit a full application. The LOI is limited to four pages and requests organizational and board information, project details and locations, a project budget and requested amount, expected outcomes, sustainability plans, existing funding partnerships, project dates, and IRS 501(c)(3) documentation. The website says submissions must be uploaded through its site.
