The Linda Glazer Toohey Foundation concentrates philanthropic support in the Saratoga region and nearby Upstate New York, backing a small set of large, repeated grants to local institutions. Its funding favors independent secondary education, regional performing arts, community health services, and specialty youth services (pediatric illness recreation). Grants are relatively large and often issued repeatedly to flagship organizations rather than broadly distributed across many small recipients.
The Linda Glazer Toohey Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by repeated large support for Emma Willard School in Troy, including a $500,000 grant in 2024 and $450,000 grants in both 2023 and 2025. That recurring pattern points to a funder that backs a small set of institutions over time rather than spreading awards widely across many recipients. Alongside that school support, the foundation has made substantial general-needs grants to Saratoga-area organizations in health, arts, youth services, and therapeutic recreation. Saratoga Performing Arts Center received $100,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Double H Ranch received $120,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Saratoga Hospital Foundation also appears repeatedly in the record. The foundation’s giving centers on general needs, with “general needs” language attached to the listed awards, and its recipient base is concentrated in Upstate New York, especially the Saratoga region and nearby communities.
Independent girls’ secondary education is a visible thread in the foundation’s grant history. Emma Willard School in Troy received $500,000 in 2024 and $450,000 in both 2023 and 2025 for general needs. In community health, Saratoga Hospital Foundation in Saratoga Springs received $119,200 in 2023, $111,000 in 2024, and $10,200 in 2025. The foundation also supports therapeutic outdoor recreation for children with serious illnesses: Double H Ranch in Lake Luzerne received $120,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024 and 2025. Arts and culture is another recurring area, with Saratoga Performing Arts Center in Saratoga Springs receiving $100,000 grants in 2023, 2024, and 2025. These awards suggest a consistent emphasis on established local institutions.
Typical grants sit between $2,500 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $100,000 at the 75th percentile, showing a mix of modest awards and much larger institutional gifts. The record also shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including multi-year grants to Emma Willard School, Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Double H Ranch, and Saratoga Hospital Foundation. Grants are labeled for general needs, indicating flexible support rather than narrowly designated project funding. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
