The Northstar Foundation Donor Advised Grants NYC Boroughs
North Star Fund partners with progressive donors to
meet their philanthropic goals. Some donor activists
know exactly which organizations they would like to
support. Others have broad areas of interest and want
North Star Fund's advice in finding organizations that
are working on the issues that matter to them. Still
other partners come to North Star to take advantage of
our expertise in setting up community-led grant making
programs.
Most donor advised fund grants do not have an
application process. North Star Fund recommends
groups that we know are doing effective, cutting-edge
work in a donor's interest areas, many of whom are
current or former grantees. However, for donor advised
funds which utilize a community process, there is often
an application process. Any information on applying for
donor advised grants can be found in this section of
our website, as it is available.
