About Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation
Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by two recurring education grants of $27,500 each to Everfi, one in 2023 for its literacy program and another in 2024 to Everfi Inc. That pattern sits alongside a local portfolio built around health and human services, housing, and education, with support also extending to capital improvements and program-specific projects. The foundation operates through formal grant and community funding applications, and its materials describe support for eligible nonprofit organizations and local community needs. Recent awards show a mix of county-level and regional nonprofits in New York, including $15,000 to Ulster Community College Foundation and $10,000 to Ulster County Habitat for Humanity. Smaller awards also appear across a wide set of community organizations, suggesting a grantmaker that funds both larger program commitments and practical community needs. The foundation’s publicly described scope emphasizes needs in the community rather than a single issue or population, and the grant list reflects that breadth through education, housing, human services, and community development organizations.
What Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation Funds
In education, the foundation gave $27,500 to Everfi for a literacy program and $15,000 to Ulster Community College Foundation. It also supported Literacy Connections of the Hudson Valley with $7,500 and Read & Write Program with $5,000, pointing to a steady interest in literacy and learning access. Housing is another clear area of support. Grants included $10,000 to Ulster County Habitat for Humanity, $10,000 to Community Housing Innovations Inc, and $5,000 to Newburgh Community Land Bank. Human services appear as well through $10,000 to Family Service Inc and $8,000 to Harambee. The foundation also funded community-oriented work such as $10,000 to Safe Harbors of the Hudson and $5,000 to The Ryan House.
How Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster in the low-thousands: the 25th percentile is $2,000, the median is $2,500, and the 75th percentile is $5,000. The recent list shows a small number of larger awards above that range, including $27,500 and $15,000 grants, but most listed gifts sit at $5,000 or below. The foundation uses a formal application process for its grants and also offers a separate community funding and sponsorship application. The grant list suggests repeat engagement in the same region over multiple years, with several organizations appearing in 2023 and 2024. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
