Empowering people, animals, and the environment to thrive by finding and funding local helpers — partnering closely with organizations to amplify impact and provide resources where they are most needed.
A $65,000 grant to Share the Harvest Farm for a new tractor and tractor shed cover is a clear window into Carte Blanche Charitable Foundation’s approach: practical support for local helpers and the assets they need to keep serving their communities. Across the 2025 grants listed here, the foundation backs organizations working on animals and the environment, education access, social connectivity, health and wellbeing, and disaster assistance. It also extends support to direct community needs such as housing, food, in-home help for older adults, pet care, and student debt relief. The foundation’s recent funding includes $31,710 for Hamptons Community Outreach to provide Christmas presents for children in need, showing that its grantmaking is not limited to institutional support alone. Other grants support a mix of nonprofit programming, general operations, and direct service delivery, suggesting a flexible funding style that responds to specific organizational needs. The overall pattern points to a funder that prioritizes local organizations and tangible outcomes rather than broad, abstract initiatives. In practice, Carte Blanche Charitable Foundation appears to underwrite both infrastructure and immediate assistance, with grants reaching small-scale agriculture, urban services, and community-based care.
Within agriculture and environmental work, Carte Blanche Charitable Foundation gave $65,000 to Share the Harvest Farm to help purchase a new tractor and tractor shed cover, linking its environmental interests with equipment and infrastructure needs. In community support, it awarded $25,000 to Search and Care for free and in-home support for older adults, matching its emphasis on basic needs and home-based care. The foundation also funds services for specific groups. Paws NY received $25,000 for pet care assistance, which fits the foundation’s animal welfare focus and its stated interest in helping low-income pet owners. Another $25,000 grant went to Neighborhood Trust Financial Partners to assist an individual of the organization with student loan debt, reflecting its education and financial empowerment themes. These grants show a mix of direct service, operational support, and individual financial assistance.

The listed 2025 grants cluster at a few standard levels: one at $65,000, one at $31,710, and five at $25,000. That distribution suggests a preference for relatively even, fixed-size awards once a project fits the foundation’s priorities. The recent sample also includes both restricted-purpose grants and general-purpose support, along with direct assistance tied to a specific person’s student debt. Carte Blanche Charitable Foundation uses program strategies rather than an open application model in the data provided, and the active strategies all list unsolicited applications as false except for the scholarship program. The scholarship is a separate $5,000 award for graduating high school seniors. Several recipient organizations appear only once in the recent-grants list, which points to one-off awards in this snapshot rather than repeated multi-year support.
Every recent grant listed goes to a U.S. recipient, with a strong concentration in New York. The largest awards in the sample reach East Hampton and Bridgehampton on Long Island, while multiple $25,000 grants land in New York City. The foundation’s active strategies also name New York, NY and Long Island, NY as priority geographies for several programs, alongside broader U.S. disaster assistance. The scholarship program extends to Midway High School in Waco, Texas, and Clear Creek High School in League City, Texas.
Its active program strategies cover animals and the environment, education, social connectivity and mobility, health and wellbeing, and disaster assistance. The listed focus areas include animal welfare, conservation, sustainability, regenerative agriculture, literacy and education access, scholarships, financial empowerment, food assistance, housing and basic needs support, women’s health, and emergency medical and disaster relief.
Most of the recent grants shown are $25,000. The sample also includes a $31,710 grant and a larger $65,000 grant, so the foundation appears to use a fairly compact award range for many of its grants.
Only the Carte Blanche Scholarship is marked as accepting unsolicited applications. The active program strategies for health and wellbeing, social connectivity and mobility, disaster assistance, education, animals and the environment, and general grantmaking are all marked as not accepting unsolicited applications.
The recent grants shown all go to U.S. recipients. New York is a major focus in the active program strategies, with New York City and Long Island named for multiple programs, while the scholarship reaches Midway High School in Waco, Texas, and Clear Creek High School in League City, Texas.
The grants include capital and equipment purchase support, general-purpose funding, program and operations support, direct service assistance, and individual financial assistance. Recent examples include a tractor purchase, in-home support for older adults, pet care assistance, programming and operations support in New York City, and student loan debt relief.
