The Frederic R. Coudert Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on K–12 education and youth development in the New York area, primarily funding independent/private day schools and community youth organizations. Its grants are sizable and focused, with repeated multi-year support to a small set of local institutions, suggesting preference for sustained program or capital backing rather than broad, one-off giving.
Concentrated giving: a small number of large grants distributed to a few repeat grantees (multi-year support across three grants to top recipients) rather than many small or one-time gifts.
Notable grantees: Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, East Woods School, Inc., Nightingale-Bamford School
Frederic R Coudert Foundation C/o Cohnreznick LLP shows a strong preference for sustained support to a small set of New York-area institutions. The largest recent grants include repeated $260,000 awards to Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club in Bronx, NY, alongside $252,500 and $240,000 grants to East Woods School Inc in Oyster Bay, NY. That pattern points to a funder that backs established organizations over multiple years rather than making only isolated gifts. Its recent portfolio reaches beyond education into community, arts, medical, and environmental work, but the core of the grantmaking remains anchored in K–12 schools and youth-serving organizations. Nightingale Bamford School in New York, NY received $150,000 in 2023 and $70,000 in 2024, while Rattlestick Production in New York, NY received grants of $135,000 in 2023, $125,000 in 2024, and $110,000 in 2025. Teatown Lake Reservation in Ossining, NY also appears as a recurring grantee with support in 2024 and 2025.
K–12 education is the clearest throughline. The foundation gave $252,500 to East Woods School Inc in Oyster Bay, NY in 2025 and $30,000 to The Peddie School in Hightstown, NJ in 2024. It also supported Nightingale Bamford School in New York, NY with $150,000 in 2023 and $70,000 in 2024. Youth development shows up through Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club in Bronx, NY, which received $260,000 in both 2024 and 2025, after a $200,000 grant in 2023. Beyond education, the foundation backed Teatown Lake Reservation in Ossining, NY with $110,000 in 2025 and $80,000 in 2024, and it supported Rattlestick Production in New York, NY with three grants across 2023 to 2025.
Typical grants cluster in a mid-sized range, with a p25 of $5,000, a median of $8,750, and a p75 of $12,500. The recent-grants list also shows a separate set of much larger awards, which are concentrated around repeat relationships with a few organizations. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, East Woods School Inc, Nightingale Bamford School, Rattlestick Production, Teatown Lake Reservation, and Memorial Sloan Kettering.
