This trust directs evenly sized, mid-level grants to health care and human services organizations that deliver direct patient care, long-term elder support, disability rehabilitation, and emergency relief. Grants favor established hospitals, specialty rehabilitation providers, and faith-based or fraternal eldercare homes—often in the New York / Long Island region—supporting hands-on service delivery rather than policy or research alone. The foundation appears focused on improving access to clinical care and day-to-day quality of life for vulnerable populations (cancer patients, seniors, people with sensory disabilities, and disaster survivors).
TRUST U N O MARIETTE PC MAJOR ELISABETH McCARTHY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE makes evenly sized $70,000 grants to organizations delivering direct care and support services. The recent awards point to a clear preference for hands-on operating support: elder care, cancer patient navigation, acute hospital services, disaster response, and rehabilitation for people who are deaf-blind. The foundation’s 2025 grants also show a consistent emphasis on institutions that serve vulnerable populations through day-to-day service delivery rather than advocacy or research. Among the largest recent awards, Memorial Sloan Kettering received $70,000 to help patients and families throughout all phases of cancer treatment and assist in navigating life after treatment. Mercy Medical Center also received $70,000 to provide acute healthcare needs for Nassau County and its surrounding area. Other grants support Little Sisters of the Poor for elder care, Helen Keller Services for the Blind for individualized rehabilitation, and the Salvation Army for disaster survivor response. Across these grants, the trust appears oriented toward established providers with clear service missions and direct beneficiary impact.
In elder care, the trust gave $70,000 to Little Sisters of the Poor to provide elder care for the poor and infirmed, and $70,000 to Masonic Home to support a multilevel long-term residential community offering nursing care, adult care, and independent living. Those two awards show sustained attention to the full care continuum for older adults. In health care access, it awarded $70,000 to the American Heart Assn to advance cardiovascular health and to identify and remove barriers to health care access and quality. It also gave $70,000 to Mercy Medical Center for acute healthcare needs in Nassau County and the surrounding area. The trust also funds disability services and emergency response. Helen Keller Services for the Blind received $70,000 for individualized evaluation, training, and physical and social rehabilitation for deaf-blind youth and adults, while the Salvation Army received $70,000 to meet disaster survivors’ needs through preparedness education and immediate response.

Consistent pattern of seven equal-sized grants ($70,000 each) to mid-to-large service providers; concentrated on direct-service nonprofits and healthcare institutions with an emphasis on repeatable, operational support rather than small, varied pilot grants.
Notable grantees: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Mercy Medical Center (Nassau County), Salvation Army (disaster response programs), Helen Keller Services for the Blind, Little Sisters of the Poor
The recent grants are tightly standardized: every listed award is $70,000, with no visible variation across the 2025 sample. That points to a flat grant size rather than a wide band of checks. The pattern also suggests recurring institutional support for service providers, especially hospitals, elder-care homes, and rehabilitation organizations. All seven recent grants are to U.S. recipients, and the trust is organized as a private foundation. It also funds individuals, which broadens its charitable reach beyond institutional recipients. No application process is visible in the provided data.
Recent grants land entirely in the United States. New York is a major destination for the trust’s giving, with recipients in the Bronx, Hempstead, New York City, and Rockville Centre, alongside West Nyack. One award also went outside New York to St. Petersburg, Florida. The recipient locations point to a strong concentration in the New York metro area, especially Long Island and nearby boroughs, even though the foundation’s HQ is in New York, NY.
The trust funds direct-service organizations in health care and human services. Recent awards include a hospital, an elder-care home, a cardiovascular health organization, a blindness rehabilitation provider, and a disaster-response organization. The grant purposes focus on patient care, residential support, rehabilitation, and emergency services.
The listed 2025 grants are all $70,000. That includes awards to organizations in cancer care, elder care, disability rehabilitation, cardiovascular health, disaster response, and acute community health care.
No. While several recent recipients are in New York, one 2025 grant went to the American Heart Assn in St. Petersburg, Florida. The rest of the listed awards are to recipients in Bronx, Hempstead, New York City, Rockville Centre, and West Nyack.
The recent grants support cancer patients and families, low-income or infirm older adults, deaf-blind youth and adults, people affected by cardiovascular disease, and disaster survivors. The trust’s giving is centered on people needing direct assistance and hands-on service delivery.
