The Orchard Foundation is a
private charitable foundation, founded in 1990, that makes grants to non-profit organizations concerned with the environment and children, youth and families in New York and New England. The foundation also funds, on a very small scale, organizations concerned with campaign finance reform at the state level. Please refer to the LINKS below for further information.
Please note: a part-time Executive Director staffs the office. Therefore, please assume an answering machine will answer your phone call; be prepared to leave a message. Better yet, send an email. If you are not sure whether your project fits within our guidelines, feel free to call or send an email with your question. While the foundation office is closed for most of June, July and August, we do check our phone and email messages from time to time, so we will eventually get to your queries.
And finally, please be aware that the foundation guidelines can change so if you are reading a printed copy of the application guidelines or program areas, please check the web
site for updated information
before sending in any material. Thanks!
