Connecting people who care with causes that matter. The Foundation supports donors' philanthropic vision by providing administrative support, planned giving expertise, and grantmaking to strengthen the local community.
A single grant stands out in the recent record: $1,195,521 to Friends of Tj Foundation Inc in New York, New York for program support. That award signals a funder that can move at meaningful scale while still working through a community-foundation model. Community Foundation of Orange and Sulli combines donor-advised philanthropy, scholarships, and direct nonprofit grantmaking for local organizations across its service area. The foundation’s recent activity also shows repeated support for health and human services. It gave $1,106,375 to Temple Sinai in Middletown for human service work, and it has backed health-related organizations such as Cornerstone Family Health Center in Cornwall and Garnet Health Medical Center in Middletown. Education is another visible thread: SUNY Orange Foundation received both scholarship and educational support in 2025 and 2024, and Lee A Archer Jr Redtail Youth Flying Program Inc received multiple grants across 2023 to 2025 tied to youth and educational programming. Beyond these larger awards, the pattern includes local arts, environmental, and community development grants, often for program support and operations. The foundation also administers scholarships and designated funds alongside competitive grants for nonprofits, making it a mix of community philanthropy and structured local giving.
Health and human services appear often in the recent grants list. Community Foundation of Orange and Sulli awarded $250,000 to Cornerstone Family Healthcare in Cornwall for health, general purposes, and also gave $75,000 to Montefiore St Lukes Cornwall in Newburgh for the same broad area. Education and scholarships are another clear line of work. SUNY Orange Foundation in Middletown received $217,500 for scholarships in 2025 and $66,000 for educational support in 2024. Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh also received $63,000 for scholarships. Arts and culture show up through support for Denizen Theater in New Paltz, which received $65,000 for program support and another $60,000 for arts, culture. Community and food access are visible in gifts to Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York in Latham, including $150,000 for capital projects and $80,000 for program support.

Typical grants cluster in the five-figure range, with a p25 of $8,000, a median of $13,778, and a p75 of $30,000. The recent list also includes several much larger awards, showing that the foundation can fund both small local awards and major commitments. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off: recipients such as Cornerstone Family Health Center, Lee A Archer Jr Redtail Youth Flying Program Inc, SUNY Orange Foundation, Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, and Denizen Theater appear in multiple years or more than once. The foundation is a mixed community foundation, and its active programs include both competitive nonprofit grants and scholarship funds. Unsolicited applications are accepted for several scholarship and nonprofit grant programs.
