The Martone Foundation concentrates its giving locally on Long Island, NY, with a clear preference for faith-based secondary schools, parish support, and community youth services. Grants are often repeat awards to the same institutions and include support for arts/cultural programming as well as school operations and student services. The foundation's portfolio is small and locally focused, emphasizing continued relationships with a handful of nonprofit schools and community organizations in Glen Cove and nearby areas.
A $22,500 grant to the Christina Fontanelli Foundation marks the largest award in the Martone Foundation’s recent file and points to a pattern of support for local arts and culture alongside faith-based and youth-serving institutions. The foundation’s giving is small in scale but steady, with repeated awards to a limited circle of organizations across Long Island. Its recent recipients include Our Lady of Mercy Academy, Long Island Lutheran, YMCA at Glen Cove, and St. Boniface Church, showing a mix of school support, parish support, and community programming. The grant list also includes church-affiliated and service-oriented groups such as St. Vincent DePaul Society - St Boniface Chapter, Ladies of Charity at St John’s University, and Knights of Columbus Charities. Several organizations appear more than once across the recent record, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-off checks. In practice, the foundation’s giving reads as localized support for institutions that serve students, congregations, and neighborhood programs in and around Glen Cove and nearby Long Island communities.
Faith-based education is a clear part of the Martone Foundation’s portfolio. It gave $9,600 twice in 2023 and another $8,000 in 2024 to Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset, and also supported Long Island Lutheran with $8,400 in 2023, $5,000 in 2024, $5,000 in 2025, and $2,000 in 2023. Parish and church-linked service appears as another thread: St. Boniface Church in Sea Cliff received $5,000 in 2025, and the St. Vincent DePaul Society - St Boniface Chapter received $2,000 in 2023. Community youth services also show up through YMCA at Glen Cove, which received $5,000 in 2023, $3,000 in 2023, and $1,500 in 2024. Arts support is visible through Christina Fontanelli Foundation, with awards of $22,500, $18,000, $5,000, and $2,000.
The typical grant size is modest: the 25th percentile is $500, the median is $1,000, and the 75th percentile is $2,000. That distribution fits a small foundation with a limited asset base and a grant budget concentrated in many low-dollar awards, plus a few larger commitments. The recent record also shows repetition: several recipients appear in multiple years, including organizations in education, parish life, and community services. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking appears charitable and relationship-based rather than transactional, with awards recurring to familiar institutions over time.
