The foundation made a single, sizable grant in the most recent period to a disaster relief organization, indicating a priority for funding emergency humanitarian response. Their giving appears targeted rather than broad, favoring direct support for relief operations over general operating support to a range of causes. The choice of grantee suggests interest in rapid-response, on-the-ground assistance efforts.
Highly concentrated: one large grant ($100,000) to a single recipient focused on disaster relief, suggesting episodic, targeted giving rather than diversified or recurring multi-beneficiary support.
A single $100,000 grant to Mercury One Inc Disaster Relief stands out in the most recent period and points to a foundation that can move meaningful dollars into emergency humanitarian response. William Gundry Broughton Charitable Private Foundation Inc makes direct grants to nonprofit organizations, and the latest grant record shows unrestricted support rather than restricted project-only funding. That flexibility appears alongside a broader set of awards to educational, cultural, medical, municipal, religious, and charitable organizations, with quarterly board review shaping the program. The recent record also shows the foundation funding institutions rooted in its local service area. MiSci received $75,000, while Church of the Messiah was awarded $60,000, both in 2023. Other sizable awards went to Bethesda House of Schenectady, Vermont Community Foundation, and Mechanicville Area Comm Svcs Ctr In, suggesting the foundation supports both community institutions and relief-oriented nonprofits. Its portfolio is not limited to one institution type: museums, schools, churches, community action groups, and disaster relief organizations all appear in the recent grants list.
Educational and cultural institutions appear repeatedly in the recent grants list. The foundation gave $75,000 to MiSci in Schenectady for unrestricted support, and $40,000 to Friends of Ballston Spa Pub Library in 2024, also unrestricted. Faith-linked and charitable nonprofits are another clear strand. Church of the Messiah in Glens Falls received $60,000, and Interfaith Partnership for the Home in Albany was awarded $28,000. The foundation also supports youth and family-serving organizations. Crossroads Center for Children in Schenectady received $30,000 in 2025, while Connect Center for Youth in Cohoes received $24,000 in 2024. In health and human services, Living Resources Corp in Albany received $30,000.
Typical awards cluster in the $5,000 to $20,000 range, with a median grant size of $10,000 and a 75th percentile of $20,000. Recent disbursements include larger outliers, which indicate that the foundation can scale up for specific priorities even as most gifts remain moderate. The grant program is competitive and quarterly, with the board reviewing proposals at quarterly meetings. The active program descriptions say it accepts unsolicited proposals. The structure is a private foundation making direct grants, and the recent record shows unrestricted awards rather than a pattern of project-specific restrictions.
