The Anna L Mabey Foundation concentrates its modest giving on locally rooted human services, with a clear emphasis on companion animal welfare and support services for people who are blind. Its funding is highly targeted — the four grants are split almost evenly between a county SPCA and a national guide-dog organization, and both recipients received repeat awards. The foundation appears to prioritize direct service programs (e.g., pet adoption/placement and guide dog services) rather than broad advocacy or capacity-building.
Anna L Mabey Foundation’s giving is defined by two repeated relationships: Chenango County Spca in Norwich and Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind in Cassville. Across the recent grants list, those organizations appear in multiple years and at a similar scale, with awards ranging from operating support to named program support. That pattern points to a small, locally focused funder that backs direct services rather than broad advocacy. The foundation’s grants also reach a handful of other nearby nonprofits, but the center of gravity stays with animal welfare and services for people who are blind. Chenango County Spca received support for the Take Me Home program and for animal care operations. Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind received support for services for blind people and general operating support. The grant record suggests a practical approach: modest awards, repeated over time, to organizations delivering ongoing services in the community. Other awards extend that same service orientation into youth, education, libraries, and cultural spaces, but the portfolio remains narrow. The foundation’s public profile is best read as a local grantmaker with a stable set of grantees and a clear preference for direct program delivery.
Animal welfare is one of the foundation’s clearest themes. In 2024, it gave $9,500 to Chenango County Spca in Norwich for the Take Me Home program, and it followed with a $5,000 award in 2025 for animal care operations. Support for people who are blind is the other recurring anchor. Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind Inc in Cassville received $8,000 in 2024 for services for blind people, then two more grants in 2025 totaling $11,000 for the same purpose. The foundation also backs youth and enrichment programming. It gave $5,000 in 2025 to Fiver Childrens Foundation in New York for Camp Fiver Program, and it supported Hancock Community Education Foundation in Hancock for summer enrichment programming in 2024 and 2025. Education and community access appear as smaller themes as well, including scholarships through Broome Community College Foundation Inc and hotspot lending through Jordanville Public Library.
Typical awards are small and clustered: the 25th percentile is $3,000, the median is $4,000, and the 75th percentile is $5,000. The grant list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The foundation funds organizations, not individuals, and there is no indication of program-related investments. Its recent record is consistent with a local private foundation making direct grants at a modest scale.

Concentrated, small portfolio: few grants totaled to a modest sum, split between two repeat grantees; emphasis on program-specific support rather than many one-off gifts.

The grant record is entirely in New York, with 100% of grants going to recipients in the state. Norwich and Cassville stand out through repeated awards, while other recipient cities include New York, Hancock, Richfield Springs, Binghamton, Sidney, Franklin, and Sherburne. The pattern is local rather than multi-state, with most recipients concentrated in upstate and central New York communities.
The recent record centers on direct-service nonprofits, especially animal welfare and services for people who are blind. Chenango County Spca and Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind Inc each received multiple awards, and the listed purposes include animal care operations, the Take Me Home program, and services for blind people.
The middle of the distribution is modest: the 25th percentile is $3,000, the median is $4,000, and the 75th percentile is $5,000. Recent grants in the list mostly fall within that range, with a few larger awards near $8,000 and $9,500.
No. The recipient country distribution shows 39 grants to US organizations, and 100% of the grants in the recent list went to recipients in New York.
Yes. The recent grants list shows repeat awards across multiple years, including support to Chenango County Spca, Freedom Guide Dogs for the Blind Inc, Hancock Community Education Foundation, Broome Community College Foundation Inc, Jordanville Public Library, and Fiver Childrens Foundation.
Beyond animal welfare and blindness services, the foundation supported youth and enrichment work, scholarships, hotspot lending, and arts programming. Examples include Camp Fiver Program, scholarships through Broome Community College Foundation Inc, hotspot lending through Jordanville Public Library, and support for a stage area at Community Cultural Center.
