Strategic Initiatives

We make strategic investments in areas where we identify gaps in public and private funding or opportunities to enrich the lives of others. We are particularly interested in supporting collaborative efforts among medical, higher education and cultural institutions in New York and Connecticut with which we have long-standing relationships. Our current areas of interest include:

  • Research fellowships and public policy internships for college and graduate students
  • Awards and support for research and travel for adjunct and junior faculty
  • Medical research and innovation, with an emphasis on the human genome, motor neuron diseases and cancer
  • The intersection of justice, public health, education and the arts
  • Journalism education and digital innovation
  • Playwright Residencies
  • Public broadcasting
  • Advancing Philanthropy

To assess if your organization fits our funding criteria, please refer to our Who We Fund page.
