Guidelines
The Sarah K. de Coizart Article TENTH Perpetual Charitable Trust was established in 1992 under Mrs. de Coizart’s Will. Annual distributions from the Trust are managed by JP Morgan Chase Bank.
Funding Interests
The Trust supports a range of species conservation projects, including the protection of ecologically important areas with a specific species impact. Competitive applications will focus on the impact on a particular endangered or at-risk animal species.
Grants are exclusively for project support and range in size from $20,000 to $75,000 a year. Multi-year commitments will be considered. Priority will be given to projects focused on the tri-state area and New England.
Grants in the area of blindness and vision impairments include a broad range of services and research. Service-related grants may include expansion of existing services, implementation of new efforts and improvements of infrastructure to facilitate services. No grants will be considered to substitute lost government funding. Priority will be given to programs serving the Northeast United States. Research grants will primarily be considered through disease associations or other intermediaries with re-granting programs guided by scientific advisory committees. Preference will be given to efforts that support emerging research talent, innovative treatment or early detection studies.
Grants will focus exclusively on project support and will range in size from $20,000 to $50,000 per year. Multi-year commitments will be considered.
