The Carol and Edmund Blake Foundation concentrates philanthropic support in the New York metropolitan area, funding healthcare institutions and local civic assets alongside youth services. Their largest, repeated gifts go to hospitals and disease-specific work (notably hepatitis B), while they also invest substantially in urban park stewardship and city-based youth programming. The foundation favors a small portfolio of recurring grantees rather than broad one-off giving.
Concentrated giving with multiple, sizable gifts to a handful of repeat grantees; funding is skewed toward a few high-dollar commitments rather than many small, dispersed grants.
A repeated set of charitable donations to the Hepatitis B Foundation anchors the Carol and Edmund Blake Foundation C/o Eric Freedgood/pinnacle Associates’ recent giving. In 2023, 2024, and 2025, the foundation supported that organization with grants ranging from $200,000 to $275,000, showing a sustained commitment to hepatitis B research, advocacy, and patient support. The same multi-year pattern appears in other parts of the portfolio: Prospect Park Alliance received grants in three consecutive years, and White Plains Hospital Foundation was funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Those recurring commitments suggest a funder that keeps a small group of grantees in view over time rather than moving widely across the landscape. The foundation also backs urban civic assets and community-serving institutions in the New York area, including Brooklyn park stewardship, New York City youth programming, and regional hospital philanthropy. Across the recent grants list, the mix includes larger institutional gifts, mid-sized charitable donations, and smaller support for allied civic and educational organizations.
Health-related giving is a clear thread. The foundation made three grants to Memorial Sloan Kettering in 2023, 2024, and 2025, including a $115,000 gift in 2023 and $75,000 in both 2024 and 2025. In community health, White Plains Hospital Foundation received grants in multiple years as well, reflecting support for hospital-based medical care in the New York/Westchester area. Civic and park stewardship is another lane: Prospect Park Alliance was funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with grants of $150,000, $150,000, and $125,000. Youth development also appears through Madison Square Boys & Girls Club, which received support in 2023 and 2025. The portfolio includes education-adjacent gifts too, such as Every Child a Reader, which was funded in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Typical grants cluster around a $25,000 p25, $50,000 median, and $122,500 p75. The pattern is repeat-oriented: several grantees appear across multiple years, including 2023 through 2025, which points to episodic renewal rather than one-off awards. The foundation’s structure appears to be a private charitable foundation using charitable donations, and it does not fund individuals. The grant list also shows a mix of larger anchor gifts and smaller supporting grants, with the larger awards often returning to the same recipients year after year.
