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

Multi-year pledges to Claremont McKenna College
Biomedical research: Rockefeller, Icahn School of Medicine, Memorial Sloan Kettering
Columbia University, including Columbia Business School
New York arts institutions: MoMA, Lincoln Center, PS1, Studio Museum
Notre-Dame de Paris restoration and entitlement-reform policy work
Independent schools and college-access programs: Loomis Chaffee, Kent, SEO

Typical grant

The median check is $55,000 and half of all grants fall between $25,000 and $250,000, but that says almost nothing about where the money goes. Roughly nine institutional relationships absorb the eight-figure and seven-figure commitments, led by Claremont McKenna at $22.5 million across 2022-2023 and Memorial Sloan Kettering at $19.2 million. Giving repeats with unusual precision: Columbia, Rockefeller, Icahn, Loomis Chaffee, Notre-Dame de Paris, Entitlements How, Unite America and Code.org all appear in consecutive years at the same or similar amounts, which reads as pledge payments rather than fresh decisions.

Their words

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

“GENERAL PURPOSE”
“CLAREMONT MCKENNA COLLEGE”
“MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER”
“THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY”
“FRIENDS OF NOTRE-DAME DE PARIS”

Positioning adjacent work

Every grant is coded GENERAL PURPOSE. Pitch institutional support, not a project budget with line items.
If you sit at Columbia, Rockefeller, Icahn or MSK, route the ask through your institution's advancement office.
Adjacent researchers without those affiliations should size at $50,000 to $250,000, not seven figures.
Connect biomedical work to cancer or basic science; connect policy work to entitlement reform or election reform.

Worth knowing: This is a relationship-driven checkbook, not a grantmaking program: 145 of 233 grants go to New York recipients, the same 15 or so names recur every year, and the largest commitments track the donors' alma mater, hospital boards and museum affiliations. A cold approach from outside that network is unlikely to land unless someone already inside the circle carries it.

Top recipients

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