New York Foundation

The New York Foundation was founded in 1909 and they note that "Today we do not limit our grants to specified issue areas, although under the terms of a restricted endowment, half our grants are reserved for projects involving youth or the elderly. Instead, we look at the characteristics of the organization or project applying. Because we believe in a pluralist, inclusive democracy, we support programs emerging from communities where existing services and institutions do not reach, neighborhoods taking action for their own improvement, and groups organizing to create a collective voice where they have not been heard."
