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

Colleges and universities, alumni-directed gifts to specific institutions
Community and human services, local nonprofits across all 50 states
Religious institutions: parishes, dioceses, denominational bodies, Jewish organizations
Arts and culture: symphonies, museums, historical societies, public broadcasting
Medical research and hospitals, disease-specific national charities
Primary and secondary education, private and boarding schools

Typical grant

Median grant is $15,100 and the middle half runs $10,000 to $36,000, so almost everything here is a modest check. The seven-figure outliers go to donor-advised fund transfers and to single institutions where one wealthy advisor concentrated a gift, such as $8.2M to Montana Technological University Foundation and $4.3M to UNC Asheville. With 15,303 grants to 7,399 recipients over four years, many organizations appear repeatedly, but repetition reflects the same individual donor recommending again rather than an institutional renewal decision.

Their words

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

“COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES”
“COMMUNITY & HUMAN SERVICES”
“SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING”
“RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS”
“CHARITABLE PROJECT”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as a donor-advised vehicle tied to Ayco wealth advisory clients, not a foundation with staff reviewing proposals.
Identify individual donors already giving to your institution through Ayco and cultivate them directly; the fund follows their recommendations.
Size expectations to $10,000 to $36,000 unless a single major donor is driving a capital or endowment gift.
Frame your work under their existing labels: colleges and universities, medical, or community and human services.

Worth knowing: This is effectively a commercial donor-advised fund sponsor, and the largest line on file is a $1.16 billion merger transfer to GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund in 2025, signaling the vehicle is winding into Goldman Sachs. Geography tracks wealth advisory clients, with NY, CA, TX, FL and IL leading, and grant decisions are entirely relationship-driven through individual account holders.
