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

Girls' and women's leadership, safety, and anti-violence organizing
Kingston and Ulster County place-based capital, housing, food, media
Indigenous-led sovereignty, land, language, and knowledge holders
Regenerative agriculture, land stewardship, and perennial food systems
New economy, cooperative development, and local democratic ownership
Restorative justice, transformative education, and youth programs

Typical grant

Median grant is $150,000, with the middle half between $75,000 and $250,000. The eight-figure checks go to fiscal sponsors and donor advised vehicles (Tides, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors) and to Kingston-area capital projects like RUPCO housing and Radio Kingston; the $75,000 to $350,000 range is where individual nonprofits sit. Giving repeats heavily, roughly four grants per recipient across three years, so this is a portfolio of ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.

Their words

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

“GENERAL SUPPORT”
“CAPITAL SUPPORT”
“ADVANCING GIRLS FUND”
“INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE HOLDERS FUND”
“SEED SOVEREIGNTY”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie work to Kingston, Ulster County, or the mid-Hudson Valley; that geography absorbs the largest local checks.
Ask for general operating support at $150,000 to $500,000; they fund unrestricted far more than projects.
Frame Indigenous or land work as sovereignty and knowledge holders, not service delivery or research subjects.
If unincorporated, note fiscal sponsorship; Tides and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors carry a large share of their grants.

Worth knowing: NY recipients outnumber every other state more than four to one, and Kingston specifically draws the capital gifts, so out-of-region asks need an unusually strong Indigenous or girls-and-women hook. A handful of intermediaries (Tides Foundation, Tides Center, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley) move hundreds of millions, which means much of the real decision-making happens through relationships and regranting rather than direct solicitation.
