Application Overview

The Patrina Foundation is presently concentrating its funding in the New York Metropolitan area and surrounding counties.

Grants are made exclusively to tax-exempt organizations, with the exception of private foundations. Grantees are primarily educational, cultural, and social service organizations which promote academic, artistic, athletic, job skills, life skills, and/or leadership abilities of girls and women. We do not fund individuals.  Organizations must have 501(c)(3) status.  They must be not-for-profit organizations. 

The Foundation makes three (3) types of grants:

• Seed money for start-up organizations or start-up programs,
• One-time grants to solve a problem or build capacity, or
• Renewable ongoing support. In certain situations, we will entertain a multi-year request to follow a cohort of participants through a program.

Organizations may only apply for funding once a year, except through a Board request.
