About Booth Ferris Foundation Xxxxx4008

Booth Ferris Foundation Xxxxx4008’s recent giving is marked by repeated general operating awards to New York City institutions in education, youth development, arts, and community services. The largest grant in the recent list was $260,000 to The Society for the Preservation of Weeksville and Bedford-Stuyvesant History in Brooklyn, followed by $200,000 awards to Bank Street College of Education and Gina Gibney Dance. That mix points to a funder that supports both learning institutions and cultural organizations, alongside neighborhood-based nonprofits. The foundation’s portfolio also includes colleges and teacher-preparation programs such as Macaulay Honors College at the City University of New York, Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, and The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York. In direct-service work, it has backed agencies serving children, families, and residents facing legal, housing, and basic-needs challenges, including The Child Center of NY, Central Family Life Center, and Benefits Data Trust. Across the list, grants are commonly structured as general support rather than narrowly defined project grants, suggesting a preference for sustaining organizational capacity over funding isolated initiatives.
