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

Transfers to other donor-advised fund sponsors (most of the dollars)
Private schools, universities and college foundations
Churches, dioceses and faith-based mission organizations
Community services: food banks, housing, legal aid, youth programs
Hospitals, medical centers and disease-specific research funds
Arts, music education, land conservation and parks

Typical grant

Median grant is $17,500, with the middle half between $10,000 and $40,021, so nearly all activity is small donor-advised checks. The very large checks are not program grants at all: $619.8M went to Renaissance Charitable Foundation and tens of millions more to Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab and National Philanthropic Trust, which are DAF-to-DAF transfers. Six-figure gifts do occur, but they cluster around a donor's own school, church or hometown institution rather than a stated funding priority.

Their words

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

“TO FURTHER THE ORGANIZATION'S EXEMPT PURPOSE”

Positioning adjacent work

Treat this as a DAF sponsor, not a foundation; the decision maker is an individual donor, not staff.
Identify BNY Mellon wealth clients already tied to your institution and ask them to recommend a grant.
Size a first ask at $10,000 to $40,000, matching the middle half of their distributions.
Anchor to funded themes: education access, workforce training, health systems, or land and parks conservation.

Worth knowing: California, Massachusetts and New York account for the bulk of recipients, with a striking New Bedford, MA cluster (Our Sisters School, Youth Opportunities Unlimited, Community Boating Center, New Bedford Symphony, Immigrants' Assistance Center) that signals one or two large local donors. Giving here is entirely relationship-driven; there is no shared program logic across 2,151 recipients, and a cold approach to Boston will go nowhere.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
