The Berthe M Cote Foundation concentrates philanthropic support in New York state, prioritizing local health and human service providers, faith-based institutions, and community organizations. Its largest awards go to a small set of repeat grantees (notably Family Centers Inc and Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem Foundation), while also funding food security, community recreation, and higher-education health training. Grants tend to be targeted and programmatic rather than broad national initiatives, indicating a preference for tangible, local impact.
Berthe M Cote Foundation Inc repeatedly backs a small circle of organizations, with Family Centers Inc in Greenwich, Connecticut receiving multiple awards across 2023, 2024, and 2025. That repeat pattern is one of the clearest signals in the grant record: the foundation favors sustained support for established nonprofits rather than one-time, wide-reaching bets. Its recent awards also reach into hospital capacity, youth recreation, food distribution, and faith-based institutions, showing a mix of human services and mission-aligned community support. The largest recent grant in the file was $70,000 to Family Centers Inc in 2025. Other sizable awards include $54,000 and $50,029 to Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem Foundation, both tied to exempt-purpose support. The foundation also funded the Hudson Mohawk Road Runner Club for the Just Run program in two consecutive years, and gave to Maria College for a Laerdal simulator baby. Across these examples, the common thread is targeted support for specific programs, equipment, or operating needs rather than broad unrestricted philanthropy. Grantmaking is regional and concentrated in the Northeast, with a strong New York presence alongside repeated Connecticut recipients.
Family and youth services are a clear thread. Berthe M Cote Foundation Inc gave $70,000 in 2025, $40,000 in 2024, and $40,000 in 2023 to Family Centers Inc in Greenwich, supporting the organization’s exempt-purpose work. Health training and clinical capacity also appear in the record. In 2025, the foundation awarded $30,000 to Maria College for a Laerdal simulator baby, linking its support to medical simulation training. Youth physical activity is another recurring area. The Hudson Mohawk Road Runner Club in Cohoes received $30,000 in 2024 and another $30,000 in 2025 for the Just Run program. Food security shows up through a 2024 grant of $25,422 to Regional Food Bank of N E NY, which points to support for emergency food distribution in northeastern New York.
The foundation’s typical grant size sits at $10,671 at the 25th percentile, $30,000 at the median, and $40,000 at the 75th percentile. That distribution matches a pattern of mid-sized, program-linked awards rather than very small or very large commitments. Several recipients appear in more than one year, including Family Centers Inc, Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem Foundation, Hudson Mohawk Road Runner Club, Lansingburgh Central School District, and Night Out for You Inc, which suggests recurring support for selected organizations. The record shows direct grants to exempt organizations; it does not indicate individual giving or program-related investments.
