Smile Farms creates meaningful work and training opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. We believe in the power of work because it provides purpose, pride, and personal growth.
Smile Farms Inc centers its grantmaking on meaningful work and training for people with developmental disabilities, and the recent grant record shows that focus repeatedly in New York. The largest grants on file went to The Independent Group Home Living Program in Manorville: $111,737 in 2023, $111,514 in 2024, and $105,691 in 2025. That repeat pattern points to an ongoing relationship rather than a one-time award. Other substantial awards also support disability-serving organizations across the state. In 2025, Family Residences and Essential Enterprises Inc in Hauppauge received $56,525, while Cp Unlimited Cora Hoffman Center Day Program in Staten Island received $48,012 in 2024. The foundation’s own summary connects this work to purpose, pride, and personal growth through employment. The portfolio also includes grants to organizations tied to education, treatment, medical support, and workforce training. Across the grants listed here, Smile Farms Inc is funding local New York organizations that serve people with disabilities through employment pathways, training, and community integration.
Disability employment is the clearest theme in the grants data. Smile Farms Inc gave $111,514 in 2024 to The Independent Group Home Living Program in Manorville and $56,525 in 2025 to Family Residences and Essential Enterprises Inc in Hauppauge, both of which serve people with developmental disabilities. Vocational and workforce training also appears through smaller but repeated grants. Nassau Boces in Garden City received $29,074 in 2024 and $6,835 in 2025, showing continued support over multiple years. Craft LLC in New York received $32,008 in 2025 after $27,866 in 2024. Community integration is visible in grants to program-based providers. Cp Unlimited Cora Hoffman Center Day Program in Staten Island received $48,012 in 2024 and $19,549 in 2025, while League Education and Treatment Center in Brooklyn received $42,710 in 2025.
Smile Farms Inc’s grant sizes cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with a p25 of $20,043, a median of $27,700, and a p75 of $47,464. That distribution fits a portfolio built around recurring operating support rather than very large, occasional awards. Several grantees appear in multiple years, including The Independent Group Home Living Program, Family Residences and Essential Enterprises Inc, Cp Unlimited Cora Hoffman Center Day Program, League Education and Treatment Center, Craft LLC, Mercy Medical Center, and Nassau Boces. The foundation does not make grants to individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its giving is local, and the recent record shows repeated awards rather than one-off relationships.
