About C&P Levinsohn Foundation
A defining feature of C&p Levinsohn Foundation Inc is its repeated support for a small set of New York-based grantees, especially schools and social-service organizations. The largest recent grants went to The Quad Preparatory School and St Luke's School, each at $50,000 in separate years, both for general operations. That pattern points to a funder that favors core support rather than project-specific awards. The foundation’s recent activity also shows attention to specialized education and community care. The Quad Preparatory School appears more than once in the grant list, alongside St Luke's School and Selfhelp Community Services, all of which received multiple general-operations grants. The foundation has also backed athlete- and sports-related organizations such as Common Goal USA Inc and Team Steady Buckets, indicating that youth development through sport sits alongside education in its grantmaking. Smaller awards to groups such as The Bowery Mission and Friends of Bogardus Plaza show a willingness to support neighborhood-facing nonprofits as well. Across these examples, the common thread is direct operating support to organizations serving children, students, and older adults, with New York recipients making up most of the recent grant list.
