About Louis Greenspan Charitable Trust C/O Prager Metis Cpas

A defining feature of the Louis Greenspan Charitable Trust C/o Prager Metis Cpas LLC is its repeated support for a small set of institutions in the Poughkeepsie and greater Dutchess County area. The trust’s largest recent awards include $75,000 to Marist College in both 2023 and 2025 for general operations, alongside $50,000 annual grants to Dutchess Community College Foundation. That pattern points to a funder that favors sustained institutional support rather than one-off project financing. Its recent grant record also shows a clear interest in local cultural and civic institutions. The trust has made multiple general operating grants to the Bardavon Theater and the Reher Center, and it has also supported the Culinary Institute of America, Greystone Programs Inc, United Way, and Milton Train Station Foundation. Across these gifts, the common thread is unrestricted support for organizations that serve the local community and help maintain educational, cultural, and social-service capacity. The overall grantmaking scale is moderate, but the awards are focused and recurring. Multiple recipients appear across several years, suggesting that the trust builds long-term relationships with a limited number of grantees in New York.
