Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

K-12 charter networks and teacher training pipelines in NYC
CUNY and university research partnerships on poverty and mobility
Settlement houses and youth development in Bronx and Brooklyn
Legal services, immigration defense, and criminal justice reentry
Public hospital and community health access for low-income New Yorkers
Food assistance, shelter, and supportive housing operations

Typical grant

Median grant is $300,000, with the middle half between $150,000 and $578,750. Checks above $1 million go to large education and research anchors (CUNY Research Foundation at $5.36M, Relay Graduate School at $4.16M, Fund for Public Schools at $3.15M, Columbia at $2.94M) plus the biggest direct service providers like Children's Aid and Harlem Children's Zone; grants under $200,000 tend to go to single-site community organizations. With 746 grants to 371 recipients across three years, most grantees are funded in more than one year, so this is a portfolio of renewals rather than one-time bets.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“"POVERTY RELIEF"”
“"FUND FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS"”
“"RESEARCH FOUNDATION OF CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK"”
“"FUTURE NOW AT BRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE"”

Positioning adjacent work

Every grant is coded "POVERTY RELIEF"; state poverty and mobility outcomes for New Yorkers in the first paragraph.
Route university work through CUNY Research Foundation or a Columbia unit, both funded at multimillion levels.
Ask $300,000 to $600,000 for a first grant; reserve seven figures for citywide scale.
Pair research with a funded operator such as BronxWorks, Good Shepherd, or NYC Health and Hospitals.

Worth knowing: This is a New York City funder: 661 of 746 grants stay in NY, and the out-of-state money goes almost entirely to national education intermediaries and research shops (Urban Institute, American Institutes for Research, Teaching Lab, 50CAN, Achievement Network, Achievement First). The top twenty recipients absorb a large share of the $372 million, and those relationships are long-running, so a cold approach without a NYC operating partner or an existing grantee's introduction is a long shot.
