The Robert & Bethany Millard Charitable Foundation concentrates its giving in large, targeted gifts to cultural, educational, and scientific institutions. Grants are directed to performing arts organizations and national arts bodies, major universities, and biomedical research centers, suggesting a preference for institutional support over grassroots charities. Although based in Albany, NY, the foundation funds prominent organizations nationally and shows repeated support for a small set of grantees.
Concentrated, high-value grants to a few institutional grantees with evidence of repeat funding (multiple gifts to the Kaufman Center); preference for large, unrestricted or general-purpose contributions rather than many small awards.
The Robert & Bethany Millard Charitable Foundation C/O Graypoint LLC repeatedly makes large, targeted charitable contributions to a small set of cultural, educational, and research institutions. Its recent grants include major support for Kaufman Center, which received $365,960 in 2023 and another $247,802 in 2024, alongside $98,483 in general support in 2024. The foundation also gave $351,424 to Florida International University Foundation in 2023, a single grant that sits among its largest recent awards. The portfolio shows a strong preference for institutions rather than individuals or program-related investments. Arts organizations, universities, biomedical research centers, and scholarly bodies appear throughout the recent-grants list, including repeated support for national or regional institutions with established operating budgets. Several grantees appear more than once across 2023 and 2024, indicating that the foundation does not limit itself to isolated one-time gifts. Grant purposes are often recorded simply as charitable contribution or general support, which points to flexible funding rather than tightly restricted project grants. Although the foundation’s giving is regional, its reach extends beyond New York to organizations in Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, and California. The pattern is institution-centered and high-trust, with grant sizes ranging from modest gifts to six-figure awards.
Performing arts and music-related institutions are a visible part of the foundation’s grantmaking. Kaufman Center received $365,960 in 2023, $247,802 in 2024, and an additional $98,483 in 2024 labeled general support. The Feltsman Piano Foundation was also supported in both 2023 and 2024, with $25,000 each year. Higher education and research appear in several recent awards. Florida International University Foundation received $351,424 in 2023, while Columbia University received $10,000 in 2024 and NYU received $20,000 in 2024. In biomedical and laboratory research, Cold Spring Harbor Lab received $100,000 in 2023, and the New York Stem Cell Foundation received $25,000 in 2024. The foundation also supports cultural and civic institutions. The American Academy of Arts & Sciences received $248,530 in 2024, $25,000 in 2023, and $20,000 in 2024. The New York Botanical Garden received $25,000 in 2023 and $19,900 in 2024, while Central Park Conservancy received $25,000 in 2023.
